<div dir="ltr">Any car is worth what ever someone is willing to stroke a check for it on any given day. When I was in the retail automobile business we used to "shop" trade ins when we were trying to put a deal together and we needed more money for the trade then we thought it was worth, if we could get a "buy figure" from another dealer we would use their number to make the deal. Typically it would be when a trade was something we were not used to dealing with ( I managed a Honda / BMW dealership) and it was unusual to take a Cadillac in on trade ( as an example)(but not unheard of) so we would call some of the local Caddy dealers because they would typically be the highest price buyer for a Cadillac and knew their market better then we did. An important point in this lengthy post is that we wanted a"BUY FIGURE" not an "OPINION" A buy figure meant that if we made the deal the person that gave us the buy number would take the car. WE used to say Opinions are like rectums (we used a more colorful term) everyone has one! So if you weren't willing to back up your number with a check it was meaningless! So all the discussion about <span class="" style>Panteras</span> values is lots of fun but it is relatively meaningless. When someone is ready to write a check for a given <span class="" style>Pantera</span> on a given day that's how much it's worth. Some people have more money then sense is just hard to find them when your trying to sell YOUR CAR!<div>

A beautiful clone with all steel fenders & nose and leather interior with Ferrari seats was for sale for a year in NV, and recently sold for $57,500, so you're pretty close. FWIW- J Deryke</font><font color="#000000" face="Geneva"></font><br>
