so how would everyone react if a Murci or SLR McLaren was on the highway with you? Would you not try to give the owner a thumbs up, race, or just catch up to "stare."?? Who cares. A lot of people love the viper and want to see, hear and race it. Maybe if people looked over and didn't "ignore"...
back to topic, I actually see prices already starting to climb. Every month more vipers get wrecked or get purchased out of the country. There WILL be people that want a Gen 1/2 Viper and will get them and pay for them. Right now there are a lot of people dumping them...but some are wrecking...
If people are paying 50k for a mustang cobra gt500 and 40k for a challenger...then they can pay 40k for a viper GTS....the prices will go back up. Those thinking these cars are going to stay in the 20k range are dreaming....plain and simple...
Dude, you either got to pull the trigger or not. Here are things I learned when I searched for over a year to get my car...
1. There will always be a better deal
2. Don't buy it as an investment
3. Pictures do not do this car justice at all
Some cars look great in pictures and the viper...
I would get the rt10 (though I am a GTS owner and fan) and ride that even money until you can "trade plus X amount" for a 96/97 BW. This is a pretty str8 up trade and I would recommend it as you are right that the value of the 98 should hold/appreciate over the next few years compared to the vette.
For me, its not collectability, but I like the looks of the GTS much better. I think the lines of the car just flow perfectly and that offset my desire for open air cruising...
Off question.. I am being charged 75 dollars a month for my gen 2 to have "genuine dodge parts" used and not aftermarket. But since DC discontinued production of gen 2 parts...am I paying 75 dollars for no reason? Should I scrap that protection for 75 bucks a month? Insurance Nub here....
1BADGTS...all this work to prove what? Why post here? Why even be bothered by what other people's opinions are. There are always beliefs and counterpoints that are not worth fighting over on some "internet forumz lolz."
"There's no replacement for displacement."
"I can put 10k in my modded...
ya...I wasn't literally meaning good for that dealer selling for 125k. Merely just tired of seeing the depressing stories about viper values. They won't be this low for long...
Well I will be a differing voice...good for that dealer. I would rather hear stories of people trying to get more for their car than unloading beautiful gen 1's for 20k and gen 2 rt10s for 28k and gen 2 GTS for 30k. I seriously would bet my house that in a few years, those still on these...
To me, there are no better looking cars (maybe as some said the Murci and Gallardo). But at what price? Honestly, with how cheap these cars are going..there are NO cars that look as good.
I can't wait until people realize the cars they are sitting on and realize their worth. It is the...
Ehh, I dunno, I don't think that would account for Woodhouse selling what appears to be a mint 2002 with 3700 miles for about 40k. That would pretty much indicate that private sale, it would be about 33-35k. At some point these cars ARE worth something, even in the crappiest market. Oh...
can anyone explain how the 2002 3700mi gts from Woodhouse is so cheap? IF what is said is true, "can be had for a few k less" then that would be one of the cheapest and cleanest cars in the country. Did people just give up on these cars value's? Heck there are low milage 03 cobra's going for...
I know the market is bad but 40k for a 2002 Graphite with 3,700 miles coming from a DEALER? Wow...I bought at the wrong time. I paid only two months ago 37k for a 2000 red viper ACR with 14k miles and most people thought i STOLE that...lol...sad times.
One last piece of advice. Clearly, the car is worth a bit more in this depressed market, but probably not much (+ a few grand). You are quickly seeing that people will snatch this up AROUND the price you are selling and you could decide two things:
1. Wait more and list higher (benefit is...
Well I wouldn't sweat lack of interest based on 2 days IMHO. This will take a few. Be patient if you can. I know I had interest in LOTS of vipers but was careful where my business went. Be ready for ebay to be a real bunch of whiny stealers. Most ebay cars are not selling for even 30k...
george, i hope you don't take offense to the previous presumptions. I hope that situation resolves itself as well as can be. I also hope you don't HAVE to unload as from the sound of the post, it is going to reel in low ballers.
I promise you, that car WILL sell at that asking price. I would...
Problem with ebay is that everyone is looking for a complete steal. I mean I am seeing nice ACR's and 96/97 BW with 10-20k miles NOT going for 40k.... Most completed listings are not sold due to reserve not being met and the highest bid's on GREAT cars going for 20 to 30k. Again people are...
Did you buy that off Craigslist? I saw that car advertised a few months ago. I grew up in the Royal Oak area btw. How's the car treating you? I bought my ACR from Classic Auto showplace in Troy mi about 2 months ago.
