Don't know the car, but the dealership is 1st Class all the way! Deal with Chris or his dad. You won't be sorry, taken advantage of, or disappointed. Good Luck !

I bought my '01 from them and had 1 small issue. I'd just tell you to make sure you inspect everything (especially the stored things like the spare tire, jack, soft top, etc) when it's unloaded off the delivery trailer. ;)

$55k is VERY steep for that car. $45k max

MAYBE a little high.... but easily worth $50K....

I will tell you I had what I would consider a poor experience with them if you'd like to know more, send me a PM...... then you can decide if the knowledge is beneficial to you.

Thanks.

Bought one car from them great experience! A number of our members have had great luck.
Prices are high but they do not sell junk. By the way my car was missing a couple things all it took was a phone call and parts were shipped to me.

As I stated above...I had 1 issue with them and multiple phone calls got me a lot of apologies, but no results. I guess they take care of in-state clients a little better. ;)

Lifeisgood sorry to hear it and its the first negative ive heard of them. But I have bought from one of the "well respected viper" dealers on this site and it was a comedy of errors with poor customer service so it can happen anywhere! I think we have 5 local guys that have bought from them with great results but it only takes one to ruin it.

Thanks for the input guys....im thinking that 55k is really strong in price but it checks out as a nice car.

55k is pretty steep...for instance I got my 06 coupe with 7900 miles with corsa exhuast, side winder wheels, and a B&M shift kit for under 50. I think you should get it for about 50 even if it's clean. Good luck and post pics if ya get it!

They are definitely run flats.

Definitely work that issue out... in the info I shared with you last night, I had been told the tires "were good"...car supposedly had 9,000 miles... turns out it 9,800 (not a big deal) and it had the original tires still....so on a 1999 that was going to be a $2K proposition.........

$50K for what you are looking at with actually good tires..... $48K without.... that's my call....and pin them down on any trade in value and nail the transaction quickly.....

Just got my 06 coupe from them two weeks ago and i had a great experience. Dick was a pleasure to deal with and the car was every bit as good as it looked in the pictures.

The car even came with a 3M clear bra that i didn't know the car had until it showed up.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Guess you had to be there.

That's what I'm thinking too. Unless there is something special about it.

Nothing special about the car except low miles.It is clean but run-craps are an issue.Probably should wait for gen 4 to come down a little more.....at 55k out there it should start getting close.

Premier carries quality cars so that is what you are paying for. A quality car. That particular car also has color matched brake calipers and the rear difuser is blacked out. Looks like a great car. If it's what you want then I say go for it. That's what I did when I bought mine. I'm sure I could have found another car somewhere cheaper but i paid for what I got...a quality car.

If the tires are the deal breaker then talk to them about it. I'm
sure if they really want to make the sale they will work with you on that. :)

I'm not so sure about getting a GenIV Convertible for 55k, but 55k for a GenIII Convertible is VERY steep.

I agree with the above poster, $45k out the door for a yellow vert is appropriate. If it didn't have low mileage, I'd say $42k.

I paid $43.5 for my red '05 with 8900 miles on it just a few months back.

The difference I believe is buying from a dealer vs. an individual and trade implications also.Different dynamics come to play.All things are relative.Ive had several vipers over the years and each transaction has its own signature.I have however been searching all the usual sites looking for quality cars and seems a challenge when you cant travel whither and yon to actually see them.Gotta have faith in your fellow man but ive found guys on this site very helpful in the quest.

I bought from a dealer with no trades or financing. Market is a buyers market, plenty of cars out there. Anything over 46-47 is just throwing money away.Iu

There may be plenty of cars, but there are NOT plenty of quality cars. I looked for months.... and lucked into a one owner local car.....with 5,300 miles. If you are looking for a particular color and want low mileage and "no histories".... then you are gonna have to pay for it unless you are willing to wait a long time..... if it's what you want, make a good deal, include the need for new tires in your negotiations and anything over $47 is not throwing your money away.....

Good luck!

I looked all over the US for a low mileage 06 coupe. The only place I had not contacted was my local Dodge dealer. They knew of a car that was about to become available and arranged the deal. 06 coupe with 4048 miles, bought new at the dealership. Paid $49K about 5 months ago. What is the issue with run-flats....other than the ride is harsh?
