I am thinking about selling my 2000GTS. Is now a bad time? Will prices continue to decline or will they stabilize? What is a fair price for a "perfect" 2000 GTS, red no stripes, 3200 miles?
I don't understand why anyone would expect Viper prices to go up, or even stay the same.
Vipers are not rare enough to be collector cars, they are simply cars. Their value will go down every year.
And there is more.
As the prices drop, there will come a tipping point, the cars will fall into the price range of, shall we say, a less exclusive group of owners. When this happens, we will see more and more Vipers that have been run hard and put away wet. Cars that are not wrecks but have been thrashed and abused will be more common and they will sell for even lower prices than we have seen in the past.
This will drag down the price of all Vipers.
A couple of years from now, when someone sees a ****** RT selling for $18k, the fact that it is a ****** isn't going to be as memorable to people as the price.
They will think of the $18k as a low end price for Vipers. That will make a high end price much harder to support.
