    Where does Legendary find the low mileage vipers??

    Hopefully the GTS becomes the next Ford GT. It is similar in a few ways, it has low production numbers, especially the 1 year only colors, it is an iconic body style that never goes out of style, descent performance and they are getting harder and harder to find nice low mile pristine cars. I...

    What's this car worth??? rare 97 RT10 (1 of 117)

    Yes, I could never figure this out. Seems they are quick to undervalue their cars. Glad I am not the only one that noticed this.

    What is the personal property tax amount on an 04 viper in Virginia.

    Holy crap, $2,290 for property tax EVERY year. Does that include insurance I hope. That is crazy. Between that and the speeding ticket cost in Va I think I would move out of that state really quick. Literally highway robbery.

    Re: any viper owners with knee replacements --can you get in and out and drive you vi Yes, I have no issues driving the Callaway either. Although, isn't mentioning the Corvette on this forum taboo... ;-) j/k

    Gen 2 GTS vs. ACR values

    Even with parking them you are paying insurance on them and there are no cars out there that appreciate more than what it cost to insure them. That said it is still nice when you can sell the car and recoup most of what you paid for it.

    Gen 2 GTS vs. ACR values

    I think what frank means to say is don't buy "any car" for potential resale value. That said when compared to most cars the Viper holds it value very well. The rarer Vipers such as the one year colors, B&W and ACR's will definitely do much better than most of the other Vipers or Red cars which...

    Anyone familiar with a sapphire/silver stripe GTS with 105 miles on it for sale

    I will buy it tomorrow for 45. It is also the same technology as a FGT, it has ABS. It is not like we are talking about a Gen I or pre 993 Porsche.

    Anyone familiar with a sapphire/silver stripe GTS with 105 miles on it for sale

    Yes definitely in the 60's if it is clean. Low miles does not always guarantee a pristine car, they can get beat up sitting in a garage. I would love to have a spare Sapphire/Silver GTS. I also thought mine was one of the lowest miles Sapphire/Silver known to exist at approx 3000 miles...

    Looks like I am going to sell my '03

    OMG, I am so sorry to hear this Steve. I would have NEVER thought this would happen to you guys. I wish you the best of luck with whatever happens. I hope you guys are able to work it out. If you do end up selling the Viper and truck, whoever gets them will be getting an incredibly well...

    not feeling real good about my 01 RT/10

    No cars are investments. They would need to double in value every couple of years to break even with insurance cost, tires, gas and maintenance. That said I do think some of the pristine low mileage Gen I and II's and even eventually III and IV's will hold their value well especially when...

    Too funny, great pic. I hope you let the engine cool down first. ;-)

    not feeling real good about my 01 RT/10

    John hit the nail right on the head. Not to mention Vipers are a specialty type of car that attract a certain type of person. Obviously there was not any of these people in the audience when this car went across the block. Rare 1 year color cars with super low mileage go for mid 50's to the...

    I'm back and on the hunt for a GTS...

    Of course the time you spend looking for that super deal is that much less time you can be driving one. There is some value in driving now opposed to looking for one. Pending on where you are that may not be an issue yet but it will be come spring. Some people enjoy the chase. I prefer to be...

    I'm back and on the hunt for a GTS...

    Listen to Steve, buy the best you can afford. Fixing issues adds up real quick on these cars. I would expect to be in the mid 40's before you start to find descent cars, although I am somewhat of a perfectionist. Those colors are also all one year only colors with low production numbers which...

    Kelly Blue Books Value of Vipers.. whats their deal and why are they so stupid?

    Who all is in favor of banning Allan for devaluing our vipers. ;-) I have of intention of selling my Viper anytime soon but do know if I ever do it will be for well above KBB value.

    KBB and sites similar to that have NEVER been accurate when it comes to Vipers.

    c quartz paint protection on new paint

    I just started playing around with it and so far I like it a lot. Has made it throughout the winter on my DD and it has been a horrible winter. Another detailer friend of mine uses it all the time and raves about it. That is what got me started using it. I don't have it on my Vette or Viper...

    Gen II and Gen III/IV Comparison

    I find the Gen II styling iconic and nothing compares. All you need is some Random Tech high flow cats and Corsa's and the car is perfect. No more heat issues and sounds perfect. Maybe upgrade the brakes if you are a hard core track guy. Brakes are fine for the street. They are also at the...

    Gen II and Gen III/IV comparison

    I find the styling of the Gen II out weights the technology improvements of the newer models. It also has more performance than most people are able to "fully" use. I love when people are modding their cars trying to get more hp when the best mod you can do is the nut behind the wheel, money...

    Looking to buy a GTS and need guidance

    I too would go for an 01 or 02 unless you had you heart set on B&W. I would get one with over 10,000 miles since you plan on putting a lot of miles on it, you pay a premium for cars with under 10k so you would be throwing that premium away. That said nice Vipers are hard to find so it may be...

    Magazines Shipped

    Re: still no magazines yet I didn't renew but back when I joined VCA it was right after I bought a year subscription so I expect I still have a year of Magazines left on my account. I have not received one yet either.

    Whats it worth...'01 Sapphire/Silver stripe GTS

    Low 40's is probably about right considering the mileage. I think Sapphire/Silver is one of the best colors made and relatively rare with only 86 made. Go for it.

    Most beautiful Viper out there

    I am shocked there are not more Gen II's in this thread. Sorry, but mine is the most beautiful. ;-)
