So what makes a Panther a Panther? The paint. While it looks black with metallic flakes, as you get closer an intense purple hue shows through. Also they got 20in RS 4 wheels, alcantara and red accents throughout the interior, and silver trim in front and back. The original 2019 MSRP was $88,995 which was about $14k more than the base price. This Panther only has 82 miles on it and with the way the market has bounced around the last couple of years, you would expect this command a premium price but it’s listed at $70,444 which is actually $5k lessthan a 2019 RS 5 Sportback MSRP.
