For a person that was going to buy this car for themselves, this car
was a great buy. At a cost of an auction price of $30,000 with premium
of 18% (online bid) the final price was $35,400. I bid to $24,000
before I dropped off.

If a friend of mine, Max Katz, who is actively looking for a Pantera,
didn't have to work he would have had the car at a great price.
