Twelve posts in and you cracked the code.
Actually, please refer earlier within this thread whenever I spoke about hyperbole, and I even mentioned that your comment was a joke too. Thank you, sir. If both of our statements were not meant as a joke, I would much sooner take offense to trading a lawn mower to a Viper than comparing one to a Camry. Furthermore, you even told the original poster that his car was not "sought after", which is more insulting than anything I said.
For the third time, hyperbole. You and I have both engaged in hyperbole, but the only difference between you and me is that I offered the original poster with five different strategies to help him sell his car. You may continue to refer my posts using any adjectives that you choose to use, but it does not change the fact that I legitimately want to help the original owner sell his car for what he would like.
This forum has been fantastic thus far, but you like to dish it out (lawnmower joke and refer to a car as not being sought after), but you do not like it when others dish it out (Camry joke). Simply put, you're a bully, which is fine.
Now, I assume that you will want the "last word" since you seem the type, so I will let you have the "last word", and I will stop responding to your vitriolic posts that are intended to paint me as the villain. Please, humor me, and humor others who come to this thread so that they can see how much of a comic genius you are. Also, continue to attack me on an internet message board so that the Viper community can see how you "stand up for them" and how "clever" you are whenever you want to "protect" another Viper owner from seeing Camry jokes. You're a real tough guy, buddy. Real tough.
Original poster, I apologize if you were offended by my Camry joke, but I cannot apologize for the lawnmower joke nor can I unequivocally confirm whether or not your car is not "sought" after. However, I did want to send the prices and specifications for the Vipers in my immediate area so that you can get an idea of what different generation Vipers are selling for in the current market. I want you to maximize the amount profit you gain from selling your car so that you can get the newest generation of Viper, but I still want you to make a profit; it is just difficult to make a profit if you are trying to sell a generation one Viper for the current price when newer models are bringing much less. I do agree with another poster, however, that we are nearing the end of the "downswing" of Viper resale value. With Dodge ending the production of the Viper and our cars nearing 25+ years in age, their value will steadily increase. I have no doubt in my mind that your Viper could be showcased on Barrett Jackson or Mecum in another twenty years since it will be an extremely rare car at that time. While there may be bullies in this thread saying that your car is not "sought" after, I promise that your car will be HIGHLY desirable if you want to give it another five to ten years before you try to sell it. Whatever you choose to do, please consider some of the strategies that I provided in an earlier post since I know others who have owned different cars who employed the same methods with great success. You have many options at your fingertips, and you also have time on your side.
As another option, I am not sure where you are from (original poster), but you could bring your car down to the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee Car show where there are tens of thousands of cars sitting on the side of the road. Most cars sitting on the road are for sale, and people come from all over the world, bring cash, and buy/swap cars for an entire week. These people are willing to pay good money for vehicles, and they are able to pay without any delay in time. I, along with my friends, have sold many cars at the show, and we have always came out ahead with more money than we had in the original cars. To make matters even more on your side, I only saw ONE Dodge Viper at the entire show in the spring; it was a black generation three SRT-10 that was not for sale. If you were to bring your car down to the show, you would definitely be one of the only individuals with a Viper. That fact will increase the immediate value of your car in the context of the show itself. Even if you did not sell your car, you would have a fantastic time in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee while enjoying your cars with other car enthusiasts. The dates of around September 7th to September 17th - two weeks of a nonstop car show. I highly recommend that you check it out.
