>>>No, YOU are trying to pretend the exceptions don't exist.   This all 
started from your assertions that an excellent GT5-S was overpriced, and when 
somebody else explained that they typically sell for about double the cost of 
a comparable early car, that "Panteras don't sell for $70K".

SOME do.   Quite a few, in fact. as I and several others have demonstrated. 
  I clearly stated that my own car, which is very nice, and has $75K or 
more invested in it, is perhaps only a $50K car today.   If it was bone stock 
and in perfect shape it would be $65-70K, all day long.   That's not an 
anomalous price.   That's the standard, going price for bone stock cars in 
excellent condition these days.   (I just remembered that a very nice but not 
outstanding Pre-L that was repainted but incompletely (they forgot to paint the 
satin black trim) just sold near me for $66K).

And a bone stock, basically perfect GT5-S is absolutely a six-figure car 
today.   Maybe not $135K as he is asking, but he's not outrageously far from a 
reasonable price.

If you don't believe that, try to buy another one elsewhere in comparable 
condition for less, and see how well that works out for you? :>)
