What price?

[2003 Viper]

I have a 2003 Viper with 18K miles and in great shape.New rear tires, runs great. I want 39K. Does this sound right to you? I am in WA. State and the prices are all over the place. What do you think? Also if I keep it a year longer how much lower would the price be? Just thinking........

I think your price is pretty good, if a tad low. Please consider listing the car in our classifieds for maximum exposure. We've sold millions upon millions of dollars worth of cars and accessories through this site...it's the best $30 you'll spend in the effort to sell it!

(and we have a policy that prohibits selling things in the forums, so in roughly 24 hours, I will have to take this thread down unless I have a link to a classified ad to put in your original post. Thanks and good luck with your sale!)

kcobean, thanks for the info, I'm just asking for opinions as it is not for sale at the moment, but I understand if the thread is taken down. A tad low sounds good to me.

That's a bit less than I paid for my 2003 with 23,000 miles, and I had to replace all 4 tire. So, I think your price is a bargain, and someone will snap it up fast. Beautiful car, by the way. Why are you selling?

I paid 38,500 for my 03 with 13K miles on it 2 months ago. Still has the original runcraps on it so I'll need to replace them and i paid $1K to get it shipped to me.

price will go lower in a year. dont try and sell in the winter, wait for spring IMO. thats your best bet to get a good price for it and sell it quicker. how much lower nobody knows

 

[viperbob]

I cannot see the pics you posted - stock or some mods?

And I agree that a classified ad on this site is your best bet if you are serious about selling now - prices will be lower for sure as time goes on.

What does Kelley Blue book say for avg. retail with these miles and condition? Its a buyers market now unfortunately. Price will be lower in a year from now.

I'm going to buy a Lamborghini Murcielago.

Thanks everyone for the reply's.

I believe Plum Crazy is incorrect, as the market has been down for awhile , but with the advent of the Viper being discontinued for 2-3 years it appears the Viper market is back on the upswing.

I doubt it will be worth less in a year, as interest has peaked and this should be good for all years.

I know of quite a few Vipers that have sold of late for a good 3-4K more than they did 6 months ago. Activity here has been tremendous, and we don't even have a used on in stock at present.

Best of luck if you decide to sell.

bill pemberton is incorrect and has been known to drink heavily this early in the day

I agree with Bill on the future pricing - especially for the older cars. The new cars are all in the $90k to $100k+ range, so even if there's still Gen IV dealer inventory a few months from now, with the Viper going on hiatus for a while, I think there will be a good market for the older used cars. If someone wants to get into a Viper, and they can't afford a new one, the demand for used cars will go up. Prices will almost definitely stabilize (if not go up) in the older car market first, and then the newer cars will start to stabilize and hopefully go up as new car inventory dries up.

Nice. Why sell? The only reason I can think is if you plan to buy another Viper.

If the seller didn't back out on that car, then somebody got a HELL of deal. That's a "write home about it" type of price and not a typical sales price. You gotta throw that one out when considering pricing. Alway toss the couple of crazy lows and crazy highs first. Then look at your avg pricing.

Agreed - "outliers" should always be excluded since no one but the seller and/or buyer knows what the circumstances of the sale were...local property appraisers do the same thing when determining fair market values for tax purposes.

However, buyers can use low sale prices for leverage when negotiating, which could tend to drive prices down...it is a buyers market no matter what anyone says.
