I predict that we are only starting to view the beginning of a major price escalation of these cars. What do you think? Thanks for listening, Paige, Linda and Dave Adler
In responce to the first issue, that is exactly my point. I could not understand anyone wanting to sell their car after putting $100,000 into it. They are building it that way to their liking, and to keep it. When they go to sell it for whatever the reason, it is just a matter of life that they may ask over $100K, yet only get $50K on a good day. But yes, for those who are willing to wait and wait, the day may come where they may be able to get a little more.
As for esclating prices in the future, I am a little concerned about this recently. Most know, I have two Panteras, a stock car and a show Group 4, and I love both of them (just ask the wife where I spend my time). However, the stock cars seem to be starting to show their age in style recently to me. For some reason, over the past couple years it seems like the style of new cars on the market has really been changing, almost to the point of some average cars looking pretty exotic. To me, this change just seems to be making the average Pantera look old. Maybe it is just me, I don't know. Could be some mid life stuff where I just need Prozac or something. I am ashamed to say that if I had $90K to spend, I would consider buying a used F355 instead of a well restored stock body Pantera. What the heck has got into me!
