Newbie from Illinois

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi and I hope to meet some of you in the future.

I am not an owner yet but am in the process of buying my first viper. I will have a bunch of questions soon so I hope you can help me out.

Good luck, use the search button & ask alot of questions. When you find one ask if anyone here knows the car. Look in the classifieds here.

And MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VIPER TECH LOOK AT THE CAR BEFORE YOU BUY IT!

Hey thanks for all the responses already. This site is the best.

To answer everyones questions I live in Algonquin Illinois. It is about 45min west of Chicago. I am in the market for and 03-05 SRT/10 convertible. I am mixed on color but I am leaning towards white or red. I would love to find a white mamba but they are not easy to come by. I will definetly keep everyone updated on my search and ask as many questions as I think of on the way. I am hoping to find one in the next month so I can be ready for this summer.

Talk to you all soon.

Tom

I second that recommendation of Roanoke Motors.

Thanks guys for the info. I am looking into the White Mamba that dun4791 found for me. Sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I will also call Roanoke Motors and see what they have available.

One thing that I am curious about is why is there such a large difference in prices that people are asking for 03-04 vipers. I have seen them anywhere from low 40's to low 60's with only about 10k miles difference. Seems like a big gap to me.

People can ask whatever price they want. It's what a buyer is willing to pay that determines the current market price.

A co-worker of mine last year bought a new leftover red 05 vert from Roanoke for $60k. I've seen some prices in the VCA classified section were the seller obviously isn't in any hurry to get rid of it, if at all.
