[DeTomaso] Inspecting a pantera

[scott black]

John Holmes is an auto appraiser and former Pantera owner.  He also travels the USA frequently and most likely will be near a car that needs inspection.  Hire him if you want an appraisal that is real from a guy that knows.

All good points, of course.

One is always subject to new car lust, but always remember to listen to what 
is said.  I've been stung by relatives, friends, and "the pantera expert" 
through the years.

The ultimate responsibility is always on the buyer, nothing beats experience 
and personal inspection.

cheers,
