>>>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".<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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? :>)<br>
