Decided to sell my 01 GTS and ...

[gozer]

I just wanted to say, Thanks to all! This board has been a wealth of knowledge and entertainment.

Also, does anyone have any advise for selling? Like where is the best place, what forms of payment to accept or any other words of wisdom?

If anyone is interested, I have posted a classified on this site or you can go to http://members.cox.net/2001vipergts/

That's what happens when you buy a Radical! Good luck on the sale.

 

[gozer]

Thanks J.

I suppose your right, but it still took me a long time to finally put the Viper up for sale

I just hope she ends up in a good home.

You hit the nail on the head. The same folks who think their Vipers should bring top dollar

You are correct about the many calls to steal the Viper at bottom dollar, hold out.
Some of the same ones that offer you a song and dance want to buy low and resale.
Hold out as long as possible, try DuPont
good luck

Thanks for all the advice, I expect the low-ball offers. Fortunately, I'm in no big hurry to sell.

jkracer, DuPont is a great idea, I'll probably do that tonight.

For those of you who have sold, did you let prospective buyers test drive the car?

Take Care,

Ken

Ken If they want the car,they know the car thus no one needs a test drive. When I went looking for my GTS the only thing I needed to do was sit in it to make sure I fit. After that a Inspection was done and a wire transfer was implemented... Good Luck

I am looking for GTS and I would either ask for a test drive or at the very least ask the owner to take me for a ride in the car to make sure it drives as it should.

 

[gozer]

When I bought this car new, I couldnt find any dealer that would let me test drive, so I rented a 97 GTS for the day and was hooked.

I would have no problem taking prospective buyer for a ride.

The problems I have with test drives are:

1. Will they drive it properly? (Not Wreck it)

2. Do they just want to drive a Viper?

I've only let 3 other people drive my Viper (one was my Viper tech). My wife hasnt even driven it. I guess I'm a little protective.

 

[Vic]

Radical traitor!!!

 

[Gerald Levin]

Nobody test drives my car or the wife. Well, the wife maybe, but the car never. I'd offer them a ride and if that was not good enough, then they could look elsewhere for another car.

 

[gozer]

Gerald, Good Point, no test drives, but I'll take them for a ride.

Vic, I'm hurt, you know I love the Viper. Are you going to Viperdays at Thunderhill? If so, I'll take you for a ride in the Radical. Then you'll understand.

Ken

 

[Vic]

I'll be at Thunderhill, but why do the Radicals hang with Viperdays?

Anyway, I'm just ribbing ya, I know they are a blast. "We" are thinking about getting one also, but I'm gonna look around, maybe Stohr? No hurry anyway...

 

[REDSLED]

Ken, when do I get my ride in the Radical? Don't make me take the GoodYear slicks to Thunder Hill and give you Viperitis! (Viperitis=being chased by a Viper, thus driving in your mirrors, thus going off track)See at T-Hill

 

[gozer]

Why do we hang out with Viperdays? Where to I begin?

Let's see:

Skip, Courtney and Tracy. Great drivers, instructors and friends. Great events. Great competition (not that any of us are competative). It's where I began driving. It's like coming home. See, now I'm all misty. Damn!

But seriously, Viperdays is the best!

Jonathan, we will take the Radical out at T-Hill. The last thing I want to see is your Viper in my mirrors!
