    I think I may have found my car....need serious input

    Ok like Transamer, I am going to pray the Viperclub community respects my honesty and eagerness to buy a viper and the trust that I instill with members here that know a lot more than I do at this point. I am a serious buyer and I have come across a listing that appears "too good to be true"...

    milage question

    Here is another question. If I get a "decent deal" on a GTS for about 40-45k, and put maybe 5k miles on it a year. Would it be unreasonable to sell it 3-5 years down the road for 35-40k? Are these cars at a low point and expected to appreciate at all...or are they going to continue to...

    milage question

    nice that is good to know. I have been a little biased toward the lesser mile vehicles, but I would get this car to drive and not sit. I don't think a 40k vs 80k car will differ that much on the resale in a few years anyways...

    milage question

    I see some great prices on cars that have 30-45k miles. Is buying a viper with those miles risky? Part of me thinks that it would be good because the engine has had some decent usage. I don't know when these engines start to have problems (even if well cared for). Has anyone driven their...

    Should i pull the trigger on this car? PICS INSIDE

    I am in the market too and I also feel your pain about "holding out" but I would pass on that car. I really think there is truth to the fact that if the exterior is like that, what is going on inside? I have never had a sports car that looked like that (as your z06 definitely didn't either)...

    Color help

    nice. I especially want to know what looks better in person. I am glad to know the silver and blue stripe looks better in person. Does anyone know anything about a silver gts in Florida being sold on vipertrader.com? I am looking at that car. You can pm me if you want.

    Color help

    I know i know it is a personal opinion and I am the one who enjoys it but here lies the problem....colors in pics dont always do the car justice. I thought I didn't like red until I saw it in person. I am looking at a silver and blue stripe car and it looks OK in pics. What are some colors you...

    help with potential ACR purchase...

    I offered 50k sight unseen and obviously i said that was contingent upon seeing the car? What i did isn't uncommon now is it? I saw the car and there was a battery issue and the tires looked more worn that was stated. The dealership does not have a rack to put the car on to check the frame...

    help with potential ACR purchase...

    hmmm i don't know. It stickered for 107k according to what i saw. Then there were 13k in options. I don't know what options besides a comfort group for about 1200 could be had. I didn't look that closely as I was more concerned about the condition of the car and the weak battery.

    help with potential ACR purchase...

    OK I took a look at the ACR. The window sticker was at 119,000k. I guess it had a "comfort group" or something like that in which the CD player, AC and a few other things were done to it. So when looking at the 119k window and then at a 50k offer..it is very attractive. However, it seems...

    help with potential ACR purchase...

    the offer of 50k was accepted so I guess I have to check out the vehicle and make sure there are no stories associated with it. I am ambivalent about it at this point. I really just threw out 50k thinking it would not be accepted.

    help with potential ACR purchase...

    I have a dealer selling privately a 2000 red ACR stock with 15k miles. Asking price is 60k. This dealership will give the owner a call to get feedback on offers. Isn't 60K way inflated for this vehicle with those miles? I made an offer of 50k. Is that dreaming?

    In the market for a Viper..need some help from the community!

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Does BJ motors negociate pricing at all? Their prices are a little out of my range. I checked out woodhouse dodge website and saw nothing but new inventory. Do they sell GTS?

    In the market for a Viper..need some help from the community!

    thanks for all of the responses. A question about the dealerships. Since I would be buying the car outright, wouldn't it be better to buy from someone private sale than to be buying from a dealership from a price standpoint? I have seen a lot of responses saying to look into bjmotors...how come?

    In the market for a Viper..need some help from the community!

    Hey all, Fantastic site here and I am finally ready to pull the trigger on a viper. I am looking at the GTS (year not important necessarily). I am MAX going to spend 50k and am looking to get the best bang for my buck as I would like to not necessarily have to take a big hit if I need to...

    2008 Snakeskin Green Viper Spotted! (pic)

    i was driving down woodward about 4 days ago and saw it. I thought it was an 06, I didn't get a good look at the hood and thought the color was customed. I honestly didn't really like the color. Obviously im going 50 the other direction but it really didn't stand out to me. but just mho.

    Don't know what I should do, buy now or wait it out

    Don\'t know what I should do, buy now or wait it out I know we only live once. However, I have a few goals. This viper is going to be a keeper. It is a car that will be modded and driven on weekends, and for special events. I will have this car for quite some time. I keep going between...

    Rob you just reminded the previous poster that vipers can be "modded with much better success." I am not doubting you but could you please link me to the 4-5-6 second Vipers? I know there are mustangs that are 4 second racers. Granted that is at the other end of the spectrum but then again...

    wow andy congraduations on tanking one half of my statement and then making a response to one half of one sentence from a whole point of the post I made. Good work :rollseyes: Wow, i have really not made a lot of posts on this site, and my post history is very much in favor of the viper, its...

    its been lowered, kenne belle blower swap, Full exhaust, nitto drag radials, custom chip tuned by a good guy out in mt clemens, 4.10 gears, and a few other things for 612rwhp and it runs outstanding:) total cost of upgrades was about 7k. But then I sold my old blower and exhaust for a decent...

    You still don't seem to get the point, so I will just let up before this becomes total flamebait out of respect for the site. However I do not need to own a viper before hypothesizing about how one could or should react. It is cognitive reasoning many individuals have that allows them to...

    Just to add. Lets say you are making 100k. Unless you pay cash 85k on a brand new viper (75k-85) you are looking at a very hefty payment. Lets say the average 100k person could somehow pull a 20k desposit. That would be a finance of about 50-65k that would be amortized over 5 years. I don't...

    wow...just wow. I know there are people that agree with me, though they may not speak up to side with the "newb." That statement is very laughable. Most millionaires don't spend a lot of money on a car. MOST of them buy a car that is a few years old. I grew up in Birmingham michigan which...
