I might know someone that would be interstead in buying. I say it is worth 52k, maybe more since you have bbs rims.

I would say high 50's for sure...around here in Canada I would price it in the low 60's. Thats a very rare car and in your case extremely rare with the numbers and exclusivity. Listen to your heart. ...Wasn't that a song by someone..anyway.....as I had pointed out in a last thread about pricing. One guy up here priced his gts for 150,000 and everyone laughed. I say, he was pointing in the right direction. Alittle high, I have to admit but, he has the idea down right, if he knew it, that is. In a short verse of my last commnet in that thread, Vipers are a very rare breed of animal and are looked upon as such by not only us, but the community and the such. Why we price them with the less fortunate ie..mustangs,vettes,camaro,etc...ill never know. You can get a used viper for 35000 and you can get any of the other cars for that price. If we are to be known as a super car and rare breed, then we should be priced as such. My opinion......unless the viper is salvaged or problematic, I would not price one under 60k ! Its unfortunate that that is a long shot that everyone would follow suit, but, if you all thought about it, its true. Your giving them a car that stands alone and holds itsown even around the ferrrari and lambos. You won't find a slower 2004 lambo for under 90k or a even slower ferrari for under 90k either. Not to mention all the maintainance that goes wth those cars. Anyway.... this is the VCA and maybe we can all unionize on the pricing and bring these cars up to their standards. Not just talk about how great it is but, show it through pricing and exclusiveness. There are only @200 vipers for sale in NA. Compare that to vettes and stangs and even the exotics and youll be amazed at the low numbers.

Plus I own a few

That sounds like a REALLY awesome '96.

I'm glad you're in NorCal, pm me when you're ready for offers.

Regards,
Aaron

 

[PDCjonny]

You won't like the offers you'll be getting.

 

[Voodoo Rob]

I would check in the VCA and see if anyone is interested, then post in Dupont Registry and then do your due diligence and look into one of the auction houses. The market will only bear what it is going to. I hope you get every penny it's worth. You obviously have a great car with a building history. I agree with Jon, you will not like the offers at first so you can gather the facts on your pricing strategy and decide how you want to sell and if this is the best time to sell. Hope you find the right home for the car, good luck!

 

[Jeffsss]

50k easy. dont sell for a dime less.

 

[plumcrazy]

that car will sell for nowhere near 50k......not even close. its not cause it isnt clean, super nice etc..its not a good time to sell a 16 year old car

 

[IEATVETS]

It is worth 5K and no more! PM me the address where you want me to send the check.

 

[Burt G]

Edward, please post some photos.

 

[v10enomous]

There are more B/W GTS's than any other. You won't like the offers because it's not super collectible yet and another 5k miles and it's a $42k car and $38K without the BBS wheels.

 

[Flash Gordon]

You won't like the offers you'll be getting.

If you think your offers have been low... For grins, I had an L dealer give me some trade-in numbers on my B/W... It was a very short conversation... lol

 

[Edward 96GTS]

I will post pictures soon. But, i need to email the pics to someone as i dont know how to post to websites. Can some shoot me their email?

[klamathpro]

The price will be $42k without the BBS rims, $44k with them. If your buyer doesn't care for the rims, I'll give you $2500 for them.

 

[PDCjonny]

LOL at the guys saying 50 or 60K....sell a Gen 2 lately?

Once again, full of fail from start to finish.
You own one, we get it.

Can the frame and fan recalls still be done free on a 17 year old car ?

Wow... that is one clean B/W!!!! I don't think you will get anywhere near what it is really worth.

If you don't need to sell it, I would just keep it. You'll probably get the most from Barrett Jackson / Meechum.

My opinion - you should be able to sell it for $45k to the right buyer, but I think it's worth a lot more than that.

 

[RevHeat]

It's never felt rain

 

[troublemaker]

You have a very nice car there. Unfortunately to get what these things are worth, you are going to have to wait for the market to catch up. Right now the prices of GTSs is in my opinion rock bottom. The extra low miles and exceptional condition of you car leads me to think it will bring a premium price in the future, but at this point it's only going to bring that to a buyer that thinks it will be worth it down the road. It's a shame cars like yours and Johns are having a hard time selling right now, but the market is soft at this point. I wish you all the luck getting what you are hoping to get, as I do fully believe the prices on these will be on the rise from here on out.

"Don't price under 60".....LOL.......

Oh ..Ya...I got it.....I meant price it as low as you can...get whatever offer will come with cash in hand...afterall ...its just a dodge Viper.....Your right Viperjon...no need to keep the market for Vipers up there, just keep bragging about how incredible these cars perform and the looks and attention you get is like no other in its catergory.

I say with your thinking, "Once again, full of fail from start to finish".....well...lets say 5-10k in a few years for a viper ? Not that I even understand that quote.....lol.....you gotta speak Canadian to me and put it in perspective.

I still respect the Viper and will price mine..if ever I sell that is...with utmost repsect and what I think someone should pay for such a supercar and all that it has to offer over its comp. Its unfortunate that your Market in the US has lost its strength and you can get alot for nothing down there right now and in the last few years thus dropping the price of this great car to staggering levels, up here in beantown, the Viper and our economy still holds strong and will continue to as long as we the people can hold to it.
Ido realize that your car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it,but,there has to be some limits to that. otherwise, I am willing to pay 100000 for a Buggatti but, ...lol...that aint gonna happen as they are priced right and hold thier own. Exactly what the Viper..IMO..should !!
