Value of totalled GTS?

[Danny Ocean]

If someone took the time to dismantle this car, do you think there's more than $20k worth of parts?

close call. Big ticket item would be hood(damaged). Lights(?) side sills(?). If the motor is not hurt and low mileage. Might be able tp get $20k if you ebay. just depends how much of the big ticket items are decent and how patient you are.
ALSO frame in front would have been $3k but it is probably damaged (very thin)

I guarantee it will cost more than 20k in pieces and parts to put it back together.

I have an empty warehouse, a digital camera and plenty of time to pick it apart. Not sure if it's worth the effort, however.

Where do you get the $20k figure?

I looked at the ad and I didn't see a price.

If you are not a pro at salvaging a Viper, I would think twice about buying a wrecked Viper on the open market with the intention of parting it out.

In order to get the car, you will have to pay more than all the pro salvagers think it's worth.

Good luck.

And keep in mind, if someone came to me with $27k, I would sell them my great running, great looking 94 Rt with ALL the accessories and a V1.

The price is posted elsewhere on the site ($19k).

I'm just guessing that the vehicle is worth more in pieces, considering the prices I've seen here and on E-Bay.

Be careful of that site. I've heard its scam. None of these cars are theirs. They are just a referral source. They make you pay a membership fee and then none of the deals pan out. Heres a site where you can guy wrecked vipers direct.

Someone from Canada bought my wrecked GTS for 22K at auction. Hope he got his money worth.

Nitrous expolsion damn near blew the front end off the car.

I wouldn't touch that one either. If a wreck is what you are looking for, look for either a front-end or rear end collision. The side collision/rollovers are usually damaged from front to rear and have a lot more in expenses. Front end damage where the engine is good but the front frame+bumper and hood are damaged can usually be fixed for under 10K.

But if you buy a wreck and fix it for $10k, you have a car that probably isn't worth but a few $k more than you have in it.

after the GTS was destroyed, here how the conversation went.

Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill you and he's gonna kill me, he's gonna kill us!
Jeff Spicoli: Hey man, just be glad I had fast reflexes!
Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna sh_t!
Jeff Spicoli: Make up your mind, dude, is he gonna sh_t or is he gonna kill us?
Jefferson's Brother: First he's gonna sh_t, then he's gonna kill us!
Jeff Spicoli: Relax, alright? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Once again, I'm attempting to calculate the sum of the parts. I would not be interested in putting the thing back together. I would purchase a wreck, dismantle it, then sell it for parts on the web.

Thanks for your input.

If anyone actually gets the VIN of this car I would like to document it. Either send me a PM or post it on the site. Thanks
