    Viper vs. GMC Denali SUV -- DENALI WON!!!!!

    Yes. Diminished value is the estimated loss of resell value due to the damage inflicted during the collision. As all of us are aware, diminished value definitely exists with exotic cars. No one wants to pay top dollar for an exotic car which has suffered some type of serious damage...

    Viper vs. GMC Denali SUV -- DENALI WON!!!!!

    Not all states recognize diminished value. Check with your insurance agent to find out if your state is one of them. If not, you are [******] out of luck as far as diminished value goes, that is unless you want to battle it out in court. More than likely her insurance company will only...

    Washing a title and Carfax?

    Contact your insurance agent and have him run the VIN through their database. I had an agent explain to me that if a car has ever been declared a total loss by any insurance company it will be listed in a database shared by and only available to insurance companies. Doesn't matter if the...

    Repairs to the Viper. What is the $$$$

    Seriously, I agree with Cudaman about the "need to know basis" , especially as far as DC is concerned. As for the heavy duty half shafts, you probably won't be needing them unless you're running slicks or you increase your HP/TQ. The stock half shafts are definitely the "weak link". Some...

    Repairs to the Viper. What is the $$$$

    Don't sweat it, this car is bulletproof! But you may want to upgrade your half shafts down the road.

    Financing vs. Payng Cash for your Viper

    jrkermode, After re-reading the original post, you're right. In this case I would recommend you at least keep 4 months (preferably 6 months)income as savings. You can consider this an emergency fund. Then, if you really want the car and feel you can afford it, buy it! Take...

    Re: Dr. Phil - The [******], I hope my wife didn't see that episode. She may never let me take the Viper out alone again!

    Financing vs. Payng Cash for your Viper

    I think jrkermode may have been referring to my post. If so then let me try to explain. If you have already decided to purchase a car, then it is safe to assume you have already accepted the fact that the car is likely to depreciate. Depreciation of the vehicle does not factor into this...

    Financing vs. Payng Cash for your Viper

    With the current exceptionally low interest rates being offered, I feel you would be better off financing the car then investing the cash conservatively. In my opinion, by doing this you will actually MAKE money over the term of the loan. It's always better to make your money work for you...

    Run In With The Texas Highway Patrol

    I had an interesting thing happen to me yesterday. On the way home from Dallas after picking up my "new" GTS I got caught behind a logger truck. The [******] thing was in the fast lane ever so slowly attempting to overtake another 18 wheeler all the while throwing debris everywhere. I...

    V-10 Nationals Official Results!

    Dr Roof, Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were responsible for the DVD. I actually e-mailed Joshua (the person to whom payment was made) but never received a reply. I was just hoping you might have some inside info on the due date. Thanks for the quick reply, Scott

    Pass Window not coming up

    I don't think that is very common. But as snake bitten said, the door panel is very easy to remove. Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

    Vipers and Ebay

    Yes sir, that's the car. They were asking somewhere around $45k in the autotrader. You got the car for under low retail which I consider very good, especially considering the exceptional condition the car appeared to be in. Anyway, about ebay. I just sold my '95 R/T on ebay, then turned...

    Vipers and Ebay

    I was watching your car on Ebay. They listed it three times. On the third time they lowered the reserve towards the end of the auction. You got a great deal. Very nice car!

    Need Help with State Farm Insurance

    Unfortunately for most of us, very few states have a diminishing value law. For those of us who live in a state with such a law, your insurance company is responsible for any loss of value or diminished value incurred from the accident. Insurance lobbyists want to make sure most states do...

    385HP Corvette Z06 vs 400HP RT/10

    At the time I bought my '99 GTS I owned a '01 ZO6. I remember the first time I drove the GTS I thought my Z was just as fast if not faster. After I got home, I changed the filters and fluids in the GTS and had my brother-in-law race me in my ZO6. Needless to say, after I hit third the race...
