    So Who Plans on Selling Their GenII GTS to Get a GenV ?

    I could never afford a new 130k car and basically agree with everything you wrote. if I could afford the gen V then there is NO reason not to have a 40k GTS along side it. However, that is not the case with me and I am perfectly happy having a truly fast and iconic Gen II ACR. Looks and...

    Trade gen 4 ACR for any gen V

    Same could be said of the Gen II ACR and look where those values are. These aren't (especially gen IV) appreciating anytime soon. The "pure" viper feeling could be said much more of the Gen I/II then the III/IV/V yet the values haven't increased. The looks of the Gen II are timeless and that...

    How much is it worth

    It's an original 92 with very low miles and totally stock; sit on it. That car is worth good money and I'd say 40k right now just based on miles and year for the right buyer who knows what they are getting. I'd say 35k for a relatively slow sale. I'd agree 30k for a quick sale as anyone would...

    A few pics from the Dream Cruise (Gen II/IV/Gen V/GTS-R race car

    I have plenty more pics I could post of the Mopar cars that were tricked out such as new and old Challengers and Darts along with a pretty cool Jeep. I really like in my second post down my Gen II ACR next to the gen IV Coupe with a similar view and similar color. I think it really shows the...

    A few pics from the Dream Cruise (Gen II/IV/Gen V/GTS-R race car

    A few more. I love the look of the Gen II and the picture of my car next to the Gen IV really shows why; at least to me:) The B/W is the 1992 concept car that launched in 1996. It's amazing how close it ended up looking. Just amazing that's from 1992. Amazing.

    A few pics from the Dream Cruise (Gen II/IV/Gen V/GTS-R race car

    Well the title says it all so I will post a few pics of the viper. Honestly, my Gen II got a lot of comments and many people were saying that it was by far the best generation and still the best looking car otu of all the generations. Honestly, I agree having taken a closer look in person with...

    Any members or dealers selling a LOW mile ACR (preferred striped)?

    I don't know if you are referring to me but I think you are. I didn't say 54k is very high mileage as I made a point that it's only about 4k miles a year. I did say the price is too high and I based it on some of the things I noted on the car and the paint. Do I think it will sell at 46k? No...

    Free car cover

    Wow I completely forget now that I am a member I can visit these forums. I am currently in Sterling Heights and that would have been an easy pickup for my gen II lol. I guess if anyone ends up with an extra car cover please PM me as "My ex wife got the house and I kept the car" so I am renting...

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    I was unable to do any cruising last night but will be going tonight. Is there a big viper crowd positioned anywhere? Usually there is a lot of Mopar at 13A&Woodward. I'd like to park next to a 2013 and take some pics and see the contrasts more closely. I looked at both an SRT and a GTS at a...

    Any members or dealers selling a LOW mile ACR (preferred striped)?

    4k average per year. I'd say reasonable miles. The car is actually quite clean and while it is not what the OP is asking for, it doesn't hurt to show as many resources as possible. A few things I noted. The car has a nice color combo with the red/silver stripes. It has all the ACR options...

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    Beth great story; and ideology! I think after 10k on the clock, miles become almost irrelevant. I love hearing people who have really put miles and smiles on their vehicles, the owner of said vehicles and the crowds of people that get to see the cars out on the road. With 8 liters pumping out...

    Few shots of my '01 ACR

    I've been saying it's getting incredibly difficult to see ACR cars with the BBS wheels and it's nice to see another ACR with the BBS wheels. I personally love the red/silver stripe color combo sa well. Great pictures and very clean car. How many miles are on that beauty? Is that a Corsa...

    I almost made a mistake...and what a dealer experience!

    haha, I hear ya man. I really have no excuse not to be slacking with events other than pure laziness. Are you going to be around for the dream cruise coming up? Usually at 13 and Woodward is a big Mopar setup with Vipers, Challengers and whatnot. I'm sure other's know exactly where they will...

    I almost made a mistake...and what a dealer experience!

    You, my friend, are a big reason I have decided to get involved with the Viper community and also with keeping my car. I have been a forum member since 2005 but only signed up for VCA membership after you kindly helped fix my car and explain exactly what was wrong and what needed to be done...

    Perfect Picture for the Red's...

    I have a red viper. It is one of the best colors when polished right in person and one of the hardest colors to get right in pictures. It usually is just too orange. Great picture. I'll attach an untoched up version of a picture I like when I just washed my car. Here's a pic after some...

    I almost made a mistake...and what a dealer experience!

    I've decided to proudly KEEP the viper. The reality is, even with a patient private sale for the best dollar I could get, there is nothing I could pay the difference on and feel 'happy' about. A fair private sale would be between 37-39k for an original, no accident, moderate mileage ACR with...

    Potential New Owner

    Early one's need new gaskets I believe and if it's on original tires then you will need those the day you buy the car as well.

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    Those are some impressive numbers and that is what I call return on investment. You are right though, it is a very expensive car to daily drive-mainly gas and tires. Next season I will be up to change the breaks and I will be strongly debating going with the big brake kit which will set me...

    I almost made a mistake...and what a dealer experience!

    Well I don't buy a car based on what other people think it is or what it's worth or I would never give up this car as most people think it's a new 100K viper. And personally, I'm indifferent to that view. I'm just a working middle class guy. I wouldn't buy the Shelby for any other reason than...

    I almost made a mistake...and what a dealer experience!

    You know what amazes me about the cobras/shelby's; the resale value. I hada 2003 sonic blue terminator and on their marketplace for selling 03-04s, the 2000-8000 mile stock examples go for about 26-29k. The MSRP was 34,750 dollars. The 2000 ACR went for about 80k-88k. The low mile 5000-10k...

    I almost made a mistake...and what a dealer experience!

    OK my first real sports car (hence my screen name) was a 2003 Cobra. It was supposed to come out in 02 (and it did but as an 03 model) with the code name Terminator; so "Terminator02." It was sonic blue, 390hp (underrated) from the factory..more like 420hp and it was 34,750 out the door (xplan...

    Considering a 2000 GTS

    My crank pulley came loose and had to be pinned (by a great forum member). I haven't had problems since. While the 2000 doesn't have ABS or forged pistons....it did pull off the fastest 1/4 times. No one really seems to know why. People think they are the least desirable but with the rate...

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    LOL seriously. I got mine in 09 with 14,800 on the clock which isn't really that low by viper standards but it was sitting for good periods between owners. I had so many problems as a result. Now that I am driving it, it feels like it is getting better as I go. I am currently at 27,300. I...

    2000 dodge viper gts review

    It's a Canadian car and while I think the newer ones were closer in price to the US cars, Canadian cars are just plain more expensive on the whole. The Saturn was over 25k and that would not be the price in the US. I think it's as simple as that. You should see Corvette prices over there...

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    Interesting and insightful replies. I bought my 2000 ACR in May of 09 with about 14,8xx on the clock and now have 27,2xx 4.5 seasons later. I find the car comfortable to drive long distances in; even when my AC isn't blowing cold; I guess I am not picky:) While I guess the vette could arguably...
