Got my money. Looking for cars.

[mdelorenzo]

Hello,

So I finally got my insurance money for our burnt up '05 Copperhead and I've been shopping for what I'd like next with a more serious attitude now that money is in hand. As expected many sellers/dealers have cars made out of iridium and are pricing themselves out of my market. I have a solid offer for a Gen III Vert for well under 40k with quite low miles. It is just not what I want color wise but I am usually function over form. I'm not willing to spend close to 50k or 10k more for a Gen III coupe when I can have a Gen IV Coupe for not much more than that. In fact there are some very convincing Gen IV deals out there. I feel I'm a reasonable guy looking for a reasonable option. I think everyone's loot is going towards the Gen Vs for good reason.

So if anyone has a Gen III coupe or anything interesting for 40-45k I'd love to hear about it. I would listen to Gen IV deals but like I said I have some pretty interesting offers already so they would need to be pretty good!

Did you see the black on black 06 coupe on the autotrader for $45k in ATL. They just put it on ebay for $41k buy it now. It's got 35k miles though, looks clean but not sure about the carfax. That's a sick deal if it's a no stories car. I'd sell you my 06 but it's made with lots of iridium lol. Somebody on here bought a clean gen IV coupe for less than 50k not to long ago so you just have to be patient if you want a steal.

Gen IV are bargains right now IMO. Good luck in the search!

You get what you pay for, remember that! My black coupe is still FS, but I'm not in a hurry to sell it. It's in far better condition than any other Viper I've seen and priced well below the rest.

I'm also going to sell my perfect 08 vert with 5k miles, Xpel ultimate clear bra, brand new tires (0 miles) and 5 years left on factory warranty. Not selling short. Selling for fair.

I believe I saw that car. Not a terrible deal!

I hear that from a lot of sellers, its hard to know when its the truth until you fly out and waste your time. I had the same problem with the last buy, everyone had a beauty! Never mind the accidents and bad paint heh

What's your location

[mdelorenzo]

What's your location

Eastern Pennsylvania.

[apeas2]

Mine is in MD always stored up on a lift if you want a red vert....

I agree that most are shady but I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Care to wager a few G's of that insurance money?

Problem is the people who think mint coupes are worth the same as ragged out verts......

heh that's a wager I will pass on. I agree coupes are worth more but when the price difference between mint Gen 3 coupe and mint Gen 4 coupe is <5k it becomes a bit silly.

Show me a mint G4 Coupe for under 50, low miles, etc.....

Based on your 45k P-Range, that's where you're saying they are, correct?

Sorry for confusion:

I mean since folks are asking well into the 50's for a G3 coupe, a G4 coupe can be had for not much more(<60k). If people were to be in my price range with coupes it becomes a different story and a more proper pricing differential, 10-15k.

[proedge]

cars are worth as much as people are willing to pay for them. Simple. If people are selling their Gen 3 coupes for $50k+ and others are buying them, thats the way the market is. If you don't think Gen 3 coupes are worth $50k+, that's your business..

If anyone is interested in that 06 Coupe in ATL, let me know and I can help go inspect it. Seems like a good deal.

I agree with the 10-15k, it's not 5k. If you are looking at a G4 Coupe with reasonable miles in the low 50's, it's likely been wrecked or ragged out.

If that was a GenIV, I'd be contacting you ASAP. Very Nice Viper!

In my search so far, it is well within 5k for what folks want for a G3 coupe vs the offers I've been getting for G4 coupes. I'm not seeing low 50s for G4 but I am for G3. I'd be crazy not to just take one of the G4 if I wanted to spend over 50.

[Roddy]

Wow that Gen 3 coupe looks fantastic!

[Timnineside]

PM Sent regarding a Gen 3 FE B&W coupe. Mid $40's takes it. Clean car.

Wish I had seen this about 2 weeks ago... PM your exact price and mods in case the one I'm looking at now turns out to be a no go.
