Gen II GTS prices SKYROCKET!

[onerareviper]

I must say I am a bit disappointed with the concept Gen III coupe at VOI. On the other hand, my Gen II GTS is going to hold rock solid in value or even appreciated a bit. "Skyrocket" may be pusing it, but I had to get your attention. How's that for a silver lining?

I personaly think that the gen 3 GTS is a better looking car than the gen 2 gts.

So oppinions vary, and gts prices will be affected without a doubt. Especialy since there are many many GTS owners waiting for something new, and they will all dump their old cars to get the new ones.

I agree with Russ, this is "wishful thinking". There will be enough people looking for a new car.

The production of the GTS has stopped 'years' ago, so why didn't it skyrock then?

I like the GEN3 coupe, but not as well as the Gen2 GTS. I'll be keeping my Gen2.

 

[GTSPOWERED]

I like the pictures of the new coupe. Would like to see it in person.

 

[Go Fast For Life]

At least the SRT Coup shows that DC is listening to all the comments about the gen II/gen III styling. I applaud their effort in trying to come up with something that will appeal to more buyers.

I heard the Gen 3 is supposed to be 600hp. What's the odds it wont be the same price as the roadster..?

I guess I'm the only person who didn't like the duck-tail spoiler rear end in the Gen II GTS either. Just looks too much like the seventy-something Camaro/Firebird to me...

Really wish they'd worked off the GTS-R concept car instead.

I have an 02 GTS now and am confident our values will hold just fine, as compared to most other cars. However, I do think the next year will provide some great buying opportunities if Gen 2 buyers are looking to sell quickly. I haven't seen the new one in person, but I really do love the interior of the Gen 3 srt-10, just not so crazy about the exterior. I plan to keep driving mine and enjoying it as much as possible. Regardless of value, we could all be gone tomorrow (life is too short) - enjoy these incredible vehicles, and if their value increases, count it as icing on the cake!

enjoy.

I sold my 2002 Z06 for a 2001 GTS. Needless to say, Im confident, the Viper will hold its value better than the Z06..

I paid $48,650 for my Z06 in 4/2002. Then sold it in 6/2004 for $28,000... Hows that for depreciation???

 

[CHAD]

I can get a '02 Z06 for under 30k? That would be a fun ******

 

[SSSSE YA]

I like the GEN3 coupe, but not as well as the Gen2 GTS. I'll be keeping my Gen2.

I agree, some people will sell there Gen II GTS's just to get the 'new thing'. So sure, some may go cheap. But after those impulse buyers are gone, the Gen II GTS prices will hold firm. You really can't argue popular opinion ranks it the best looking Viper, and its design is timeless. Not to mention 40K-50K doesn't buy you THAT much car now-a-days. A loaded SUV, a base Corvette, a 3 or 5 series, or a mint Gen II GTS? And that's todays market. In 3-4 years, what is 40K gonna get you? I think many buyers are smart enough to opt for the used car that will hold it's value and be a riot to own.

Everyone who is thinking of buying a Gen 2 better hurry. Mine just went up $10,000.

 

[2002_Viper_GTS_ACR]

I gotta tell ya, I was all about selling mine a few months ago to move onto something else, but I think now I would let my house go before selling the viper. I love the GEN II ACR I own, and its just going to get a stable mate when the Gen III Coupe comes out, if it is as impressive as I am hoping.

The value of the GTS/ACRs ? Doesnt really matter, no one is getting mine, but I'll put money on them holding strong. (Actually, I already did, when I bought it back in 2002).
