Jon,

That decision will come from within you, think hard what you REALLY like to do, get a newer with low miles which you will learn all over again OR stay with the one of the rare ones.

If I were you, I would look into all aspects, my desires, my finances and if I want to get excited all over again by a new car. If I were you, I would get a 99 based on the facts that you have mentioned.

Good luck.

Jon, as a fellow owner of a 96 RT/10, white with blue stripes, one of the unexpected things I really like
about the car is how I have never seen one like mine on the road...Also, the body colour wheels are
somewhat distinct...

I guess its a personal decision, at times I have wished I had side roll up windows, I wonder if anyone has
made an aftermarket kit for this? Maybe there is a market for this?

From your mileage, it appears you drive your viper quite a bit. Power windows and the unpgraded interior are nice. With the exception of the 98 GT2, 96 is the only year for white. I would have to agree with Chuck and keep it and buy the 99. Since the white is pretty rare, you should always be able to get top dollar.

I had looked at a black 96, I didn't particularly care for having to "put" my windows in. That is why I stretched and bought an 02.

I would have to look at the "value" of having a newer one. How much is upgrading going to cost me? Annually? Monthly? Daily?

Good Luck

John
