I have started my pricing research to get back into the Viper family. Just wanted to say the opinions of everyone here are appreciated. 35K is my sweet spot for a Gen II. I'd love to get a creampuff in great condition for that price (red, no stripes). We'll see what happens. I've been...
Re: What is a \'99 GTS worth?
I sold my 00 for 57K too (black/silver). I'm searching for a 97-99 myself (pre-creampuff!)
Best place to check for 99s is to hit Autotrader.com.

Getting the MGW gripper shifter by itself will amaze you. The throw is shorter and the looks improved.
I can't believe Dodge used a shift knob taken straight out of an 80s Camaro. That "ball" on a big stick had to go in all the previous Vipers I have owned.
The stock exhaust is very tame...
I know of a 93 RT, Venom 500 package, 38k if it's still for sale. Absolutely in great shape with BBS rims.
E-mail me if you want the information.

I've seen the same thing, a gradual decrease. I gauge things by autotrader.com. I've noticed prices posted on the VCA classifieds are a lot higher than autotrader.
I told my professional detailer about Zaino so he ordered up a batch.
Since then, he only uses Zaino. He used to use a German product (glasse or something).
He does a lot of exotics and all the guys are hooked.

A brief look on autotrader.com might add some insight.
I've been looking for a couple months now, almost daily.
I missed out on a 30k 97 RT -- the condition was listed as excellent, but since I didn't see the car, I can't confirm.
I would think prices would get better by the summer. But with...
I've seen guys get the gas cap replaced under warranty before. I don't know if it was the extended or not though. It might be worth checking into further.
Personally, I'd get the MGW cap and forget the stock one.

I'm sure most of you know this, but MC/VISA purchases can be challenged too. It's not just AMEX.
I've purchased items with my VISA and had to dispute the charges because of unscrupulous vendors.
I never buy on the internet with a VISA check card. You don't have the same kind of protection...
You can get one any day of the week for less than 50k, just not from some of the dealers.
I'm still amazed at guys who want 59k for for a 98/99. I sold my 00 GTS with upgrades for 57k and it took months to find a buyer.
I'm looking at a 99 ACR for 49,995 right now - low miles.

I went with racing cats instead of no cats. Other Vipers I've been around with cat-deletes smelled heavily of gas when at idle.
For the first 100 miles or so, I did smell more gas then usual. It went away (or I became used to it).

This is exactly what I was thinking about. I wanted four cams though. A "fly-by" keying may be quick and I want to make sure I don't capture just the back of their head.
I wouldn't beat them with a torque wrench, but I would have the law deal with them. I guarantee the repair will cost more...
I've been looking at the possibiliy of the x10 cameras; wireless, to a recording mech in the trunk.
I haven't tried this yet. I wouldn't want something to drain the battery though.
Anyone else? None of my Vipers were ever messed with, but I did have my Saleen keyed once.

Sometimes it's best not to add fuel to the fire. I'm assuming that's the reason for lack of on-line responses from JH. I can't blame him there.
I always try to remain neutral, but the horror stories do keep popping up. Who knows what's real though?
If I believed everything I've read, I...
