Reply to "Panteras advertised for months on end..."

Hello A Hudson,

I agree that there is a lot of good advice from members in regards to this thread. Being courteous in your negotiations in regards to purchasing and selling a car goes a long way to establishing goodwill and trust.

I have personally seen the Pantera listed on eBay that you have linked to above. Unfortunately, the display area at PI Motorsports is limited and there is not even enough room to open the doors to the vehicles on display to climb inside of them. Jerry at PI Motorsports was courteous enough to offer to roll a couple of cars around to accomodate me so that I could do this. Removing a vehicle from the indoor storage to go for a test drive would require even a lot more effort on his part.

However, at the previous, much higher, asking price, I did not want to put him through the trouble of doing so.

I thought that the Pantera was at one time bid up to almost $39K in this current auction but is now back to $32600 for some reason. At that price, the car is extremely attractive. But at what is always the case, the reserve has not been met.

This car has been for sale for a long time. The consignors have advertised this car numerous times and the price gets a little bit less each time.

However, it still has not met the reserve.

What is the buying public saying here? They are saying that folks would like to purchase the vehicle but not at whatever the reserve might be.

By listing the car several times the consignor is telling us that the consignee wants it to go away and find a good home.

That will happen one day, but apparently not at it's current reserve.
