quote: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.
As for the cars at PI Motorsports, if there is one or two that really interest you, start a conversation with Jerry or any of the guys there about the car. I was interested in a particular car when I was searching, contacted them about it, discussed price (it was outside of my budget), Jerry had several back and forth conversations between the seller and me, and we came to an agreeable price (less than the seller was asking and more than I had budgeted/planned to spend), I completed PIM's offer form and faxed it to them, contingent upon my inspection, then made the trip to LA (Orange) the next day to examine the car first thing the following morning. Unfortunately, it was still crammed in the showroom with all the other cars there when I arrived at 8:30am to inspect it, but they moved cars around and got it out so I could examine and drive it. It turned out to not be the car for me, but they were very helpful. If you demonstrate that you're serious, they'll get the car out for you.
Start the conversation. If you don't ask, you don't get.
Good luck!
