Trade In Value of a 99 ACR with 27,000 miles

[ACR Joe]

Considering trading for an 04 SRT-10 plus cash. My car is pristene - never been hit, damaged or repainted. What is a reasonable differential amount to expect to pay?

Call "Uncle Bill" Pemberton at 1-800-889-1893 for a straight answer that reflects REAL WORLD situation.

As an aside, our insurance carrier thinks that our 99 ACR with 8,000 miles is worth $47,330.00...hope this helps, betting that you you (and I) feel this is low.

Your car should have no problem finding a buyer at $50k and if you look on ebay, there are 04's for sale at $78k. So if you trade, I would think $30k would be the minimum you would expect to pay. Of course, you should get a break on taxes if you trade as you would only pay tax on the difference. JMHO

Can't help on trade in price but I think you should keep the transactions separate. You can probably get more from selling it yourself and applying the proceeds to your purchase.

I agree with Bill, from my experience, you almost always come out ahead by selling seperate from buying. There is the hassle factor of course so it really depends on whether you have more time or money! Good luck on the transaction either way. John

Say it ain't so Joe!

While I have no clue as to what your ACR is really worth, remember that as a trade, you pay that much less in sales tax. As an example, sales tax on $50,000 is $3000...so you'd have to get at least that much more to break even versus trading it in.

(If you do get an SRT, I wanna see it.)

Agree with separate sale, especially if you have the ability to keep the ACR til Spring...this is historically a DEAD time of the year price wise..and, sadly, ACR's are a much tougher car to sell than same car in standard GTS trim to most buyers, according to the pro's.

Not to worry Matt, I have no intention of leaving the Viper community. My criteria is American, exotic, 2 seater, big cajones, unique and exclusive - sounds like only a Viper will fit the bill.

I love my ACR but need to make a change for the sake of change. Besides I'm known as Viper Joe amongst many of my friends. Showing up in anything but would be a total contradiction. Porsche or Ferrari Joe - NFW!

You'll probably be in the low forties.

Call Bill and trade it directly to him for a nice yellow 04
