05 Mamba purchase?

[wikkid]

Well im getting close to pulling the trigger on a 12k mile mamba. There going to give me 33k for my modded 03 with 54k miles. It looks that way with the tax savings. So its 20grand and my car. Am i nuts?
Ive done some crazy things with cars, but im thinking im going to keep this car a very long time. Its flawless.

53K for an 05 stock viper, mamba or not, seems a little too high
just my thoughts
also dont know if your including tax, title and license

That's everything. Out the door price. Its a cash deal so maybe I can move a little lower. I don't think this car will be there long.

Seems a little high for a silver Mamba. Not that there is anything wrong with the color, but silver was not unique to them. With silver being offered from 03 to 05 on SRT's I can't imagine it would demand as high a premium as the white ones.

Also, the only difference between the two cars besides the interior, is the mileage. I can't imagine throwing out 20 large for some red trim. If I were you, I'd think of doing a Venzano interior first. Or a Roe TT setup. Or a street serpent.


But then again, I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.

Yeah, I agree with just about all of that

Ya I'm settling down a bit. I get some impulsive thoughts sometime, which cost me some cash I'm sure most of us has been there a time or two.

Are you dead set on a Mamba, or just another Vert with lower mileage?

Here's one with 9K miles for $49K.

The $33K for your car seems like a pretty good trade in deal. Maybe you can use this one to negotiate a little on the price of the one your looking at.

if you're going to spend an extra $20k for basically the same car less the Mamba package, you may as add $10k more and buy a Gen. IV.
