My first Viper is for sale again - good price??

[dwhitt]

My first Viper was a '95 red RT. Sold it years ago to free up funds to adopt my children from Russia. The purchaser is now taking delivery of an '03 Viper this Wed and is looking to sell. The car has 23,000 miles, new fluids and new tires. Car has also been repainted by local Dodge dealership that seemed to do a very nice job. Also has a relatively new top. Car has not been in an accident. The current owner just did not garage the car so paint deteriorated over time. May be able to get the car for $30,000.

Is that a great price, average price or bad price for a repainted '95 RT with this mileage?

Would appreciate thoughts.

Repainting isn't a bad thing, but repainting because the car was stored outside is terrible. You may want to avoid telling anyone it was stored outside. Maybe I'm just uniformed, but this is the first Viper I ever heard of not being garaged year-round.

If the paintjob is good and interior is sound, $30k isn't bad. Curious to know how much the paint job cost? Someone who knew my car's previous owner said my car's was $7k.

He should be tarred and feathered and NOT allowed to buy ANY Viper!

$30,000 if the paint job was done properly. I hear that a good paint job costs $5,000 - $7,000.

I can confirm. I had a high end body shop (who has painted snakes before) tell me that I was looking at $8,500 for A+ work. I asked if there was any other kind and he showed me pictures of poorly painted exotics that owners brought to him for repairs.

Keep in mind the car in question was Emerald Green. The painter told me it was the most expensive color to paint. Don't know why, but FYI.

dwhitt- Any mods on the car? Sounds like a good price.

Car is stock except for K&N's and smooth tubes - I put those on a few years back
