I'd say $40k-ish if you want to move it. It just depends on if there is a buyer. Those are a lot of mods, but as most anyone will tell you you never come close to recouping the cost of mods, and if you mod it do it for yourself, not for resale. It's a sad reality with our cars.

I'm sorry to hear you're contemplating selling. 2 years ago when I bought my RT, a B/W would rarely dip below $40k regardless of mods/miles/condition. I watched the market for probably a year before realizing that I couldn't afford one and went with an RT instead. Now you can get GTSs all day in the 30s because of the way the market has been hit.

I hope things turn around for you and you can hold onto 'er.

Unfortunately you mentioned the dreaded two words, "HAVE TO." You're probably going to see it sell for much less than you would like if say for instance you could let it sit for several months. With those listed mods you could hold out for close to mid 40's, even high 40's. Dare I even mention 50???

Honestly tho, my prediction is low low 40's or even in the 39 range.

Man you put a lot of dough into that car....yikes.

Yes that is sadly true...if I have to sell it for 40K I will eat Alpo to keep it

I'm sorry to hear your thinking of selling, that sux ... You mentioned front end recall repair done, may I ask what repairs were done ? Also what were your dyno #s if you ever made it to a dyno ?

 

[00prowler]

Sniper, The recall is from Mopar and it should be done...they will perform it for N/C even given the age of your car...It has to do with potential cracks in the frame in 2 different areas...Maybe someone can chime in on the specifics of it.. The car dynoed 620 RWHP before I added the headers, Roe cats, and 1.7 rockers....Soooo I can guess Maybe 650-670RWHP or so..Also I have 3.55 gears which I heard lower your # by 10 or 15...Al

 

[TS6]

Hey Al, I PM'ed you my number too, let me know if you're getting them.

Thanks!

 

[sniper1]

Thanks for the info, I'll be contacting the dealer. I have the same headers you have, good luck with your snake, I hope you can hang on to it.

Recall info here: http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-gts-discussions/619435-frame-recall-question.html Chuck Tator has done many of these. FYI.

Why not sell the Jag?

 

[00prowler]

Why not sell the Jag?

I bought it for my wife and she loves it...I have the Viper, a nice boat, a new jeep, 2 home theaters, she says sell the Viper and doesnt care how much I lose on it, I can see her point..Al

 

[Simms]

Bummer, hang on to it as long as you can.

 

[00prowler]

I have listed the car in the classifieds pending moderators approval on this site...49,900...The car should be worth close to 40 stock? So I am adding 9K for 25K in mods....If I have to sell it for 40K I will keep it!!! Of course it is negotiable...Al

 

[jpa99acr]

man that's a sweet car with those mods. I have a question, who did the tune and install? a 10 lb pulley is a gamble unless it is installed right. The engine can handle it of course, if properly done. Just curious. Nice car!

We will see what happens...it kills me to do this...Al eBay Motors: Dodge : Viper (item 150335443981 end time Apr-04-09 11:32:36 PDT)
