    wanted 96-97 B/W GTS

    Weren't/aren't you trying to sell yourself? If he wanted your car would you have posted that? The reality is this is a buyers market and there are good members on here trying to sell. Why put a bad taste in a brand new posters mouth when he is talking about buying potentially a forum members...

    Any low mileage (~10k) SRT's out there for $33-35k?

    Wow what a pompous arrogant and assumptive post. Cobra's are nice cars and who are you to think that he doesn't have the funds based on owning a mustang? My good friend's father is a cardiac surgeon and real estate developer who makes about 20 million dollars a year. He drives a 2000 Honda...

    Noob with buying question

    Way to be pointless. He wanted an opinion and I have given it to him as it was relevant to this thread. Even today, in this economy, you can sell a nice 2002 FE for 40k. It may take a bit and you won't want to sell on Ebay, but you will sell it. The bottom may not quite have hit, but in a few...

    Noob with buying question

    Dude get the FE. 37 is a great price; even in this market despite what some are saying. If you get it for 35 or 37 it is relative. I paid 37k for a 2000 Red viper GTS ACR in May of this year. Good deal? Sure. Best deal now? No. But how much was it worth to have for this summer? Plus in a...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    Thanks for the replies. Chuck, there were 14800 when I got the car and now it has 17200. They are distinct bubbles about 3 inch diameter. I have very detailed pics but would need them hosted. I am likely just going to have the mechanic give the car a good once over when the other work has...

    Went to Look at a 2001 GTS... Questions ?

    The ad is pretty shady as does the condition of the car. He says he has a sapphire/silver car that he is "waiting until the market tanks further"...so he can lose more money on it? Doesn't sound smart. He alludes that this car is an investment in the ad as well. From what I gather, any...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    OK update...I went out about a week ago and the clutch was dead (no resistance). CHecked under the car and sure enough..leaking clutch fluid. Needs new clutch assembly and am in the process of having that fixed by my mechanic. I postulated that the leak could have caused the fluid to get onto...

    What's a fair price for this 1999 GTS?

    Go with the silver one. Top quality car from what I have read. 35k for that car is very much worth it...even in this depressed market. Drive for a few years and sell at a minimum 33k (still assuming depressed market).

    Selling my 99' MINT GTS - 15K Miles...It's in the classifieds!

    Hey, I remember when Catwood was selling a beautiful 2000 Steel gray GTS and he was having a hard time selling on autotrader. I believe he said that people were wondering why the price was so low. I would recommend keeping firm on your price and just giving yourself some time if you can afford...

    Selling my 99' MINT GTS - 15K Miles...It's in the classifieds!

    That car WILL sell at that price..don't go lower. I would have waited for that car. Paid 37k for a red 2000 GTS ACR 4 months ago and I thought that was stupid cheap....

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    Hmmmm that makes sense. The bubbles are at the exact same level of the valve cover that says "Viper..." I am going to look into the head gaskets. The reason i am asking all these questions before going in is that I dont just want to rely on a mechanic..I want this to be a hobby so I figure I can...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    Hey i sent out a PM to a few if they can email me so i can get my pics that I took hosted. To Dave's questions. This smell is not all of the sudden, EVERY TIME I go WOT I get the smell. I actually thought it smelled like burnt rubber but "not quite." Not noxious or rotten at all. When you...

    It's that time again - appraisal question

    I think 42k is a good deal and 40 is a steal. Anything under 40k on a b/w u are looking at higher milage and or stories....At the end of the day you get what you pay for. Also, how much is it worth to buy now and enjoy the rest of your riding season (being in Ohio). Is that worth a grand or...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    No actually I will continue to post and ask questions and learn as I go while doing what I do. Thankfully my wife's Dad is mechanically inclined but I am going to be servicing this at a good mechanic/viper tech. Either way, I am going to do my due dilligence to the best of MY ability prior to...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    You cry when people don't use the search button. Now the requisite for posting is knowledge of cars to get advise? That seems a bit counter-intuitive. Being that I don't know much about cars, I SHOULD be on here getting as much info as possible so I don't get raped by a mechanic. Plus I...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    Where it says "Viper" I think are the valve covers? It is around the red paint where it says Viper on teh sides. If it is overheating how do I diagnose/fix this? Should I not be driving it? Just changed oil... i will check the coolant. What "should" coolant look like? I know it should smell...

    red engine cover paint bubbling?!

    I did a search as I have smelled something burning WOT; not quite oil and def not coolant. No apparent leaks. Search on the forums revealed maybe exhaust smells which is possible as it appears I have a custom exhaust with muffler delete. However, when I opened the hood the other day, the red...

    When will Gen II values REBOUND

    BOLD: why? cuz for the time being its cool to be green? please...this obama crap is really starting to wear thin. Actually prices have already gone up a bit. As evident on the forums and auto trader listings. Not by much..but they have. Sorry, but it being the best looking car is a pretty...

    When will Gen II values REBOUND

    ok this isn't econ 101. If we are going to take it to the basic level; riddle me this. Why on earth would someone not demand the best looking american muscle car ever created for less than the price of a new challenger? Everyday, people think my GTS ACR 2000 is a 100k car. They think they...

    Vipers Not On the Collectibles Radar

    Yawn it was about V8 in which the V10 will be MORE likely to go bye bye. The reality is that I would trust Jay Leno over some web blog article. It doesn't take much more than 1 look at a viper and realize that is going to be a nice collectible down the road...if they can even find many gen 1...
