Just Bought One - What's it Worth?? Please help??

[LifeIsGood]

The interior is definitely upgraded. Some engine pictures or a video would help.

I know that I got a fantastic deal on the car. I just want to know what it is actually worth.

It is worth exactly what you paid for. And will be worth what your buyer is willing to pay for it.

Here's the link to the video of the car...

All the secondary info that you supplied after your initial post would have yielded a far friendlier response had you done that initially.

If you spend any time on car forums, you'd be aware of the disproportionate number of trolls that permeate these forums. Folks here are extremely helpful when they are comfortable that they are dealing with a legitimate concern.

id wanna know the leakdown numbers before saying it was a good deal or not. nitrous in the wrong hands can do damage.

TNT if i recall made the super snakes. i remember greg good saying he did some work for them and they did nice work back in the day

It's worth whatever you paid for It.

Why would you say that?

Noted and understood...thank you.

I have it stored in a storage container. I will get my husband to pull it out and I will take more video and pictures of the car in detail and post them. I really appreciate all of the positive helpful feedback.

hard to tell from pic #2....be sure to check date codes on tires

doubt it was an acr based on the wheels

There is 'some' modifications in the engine bay...+wires, one or two "+units" close to the PCM, air filters, etc.
And, it is right, it is worth what a buyer will pay. Not one cent more.
BTW, are the tires from 2000/2001? It would not surprise me.
There are several members in the Toronto area - may be one of them can look and check it out?

Here are the original build sheets on the car that I had a local Dodge dealership pull...this is not including whatever was done custom after the fact...Viper Spec Sheet.pdfViper Spec Sheet a.pdfViper Spec Sheet b.pdfViper Spec Sheet c.pdf

I think that I need to have someone check it out...I live 5 minutes from Mosport (Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) and I'm sure there would someone there that could take a look at it.

I would like to sell it but don't know what to list the price at. I'm aware that it is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay...I was just hoping to get a starting point and also to find out how to list it and which features to add into the listing.

I have no idea if the tires are original or not...something else to look when I pull it out.

Thank you...I will call them

[C.J]

List it for a couple grand more than you paid for it...gives you room to negotiate.

[drewsss]

Thank you...I will check this site out

They are a very helpful, supportive bunch.

helpful folk at the alley

viperalley.com

Hear, hear! Much more compassionate bunch over there, most of them are democrats actually. No trolls there either.

That being said, I wouldn't say anything done to that car increases it value. IMO it actually decreases it's worth. I personally wouldn't touch it and I've touched some shady things in my lifetime.

Really? Don't think this comment helps. Nothing wrong with this forum... and the alley while fine has nothing on this site.

Really?!?!... Most of them are democrats? How is this remotely relevant?

No trolls..... LOL.... they are everywhere

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a beautiful 2001 Viper GTS Super Snake and would love to know it's actual worth...the only problem is that I don't know who to talk to or where to go to find out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Here's a few details on the car...

* 2001 Dodge Viper GTS Super Snake
* Custom interior with 5 point harness belts
* Has/had nitrous...was removed to be made street legal in Ontario
* Dash says "1 of 75"

I'm going to try to attach some video and pictures and would really appreciate any advice from anyone!!

Thanks in advance!

OK I will give you a number. As many have mentioned, this is not easy to do without seeing the car and looking into details. However, I think we can throw a number out there to star from...

A few points to qualify the price I am suggesting a bit. Like anything, some people will see what I see as a flaw and love it and will be willing to pay more for it.

-The interior is not stock. I cannot determine the quality of the upgrade or the workmanship. If it is well done, it will not be a detriment. If it is not, it will only lower the price.
-Paint looks good and my price assumes it is almost perfect. A respray/repainted car lowers the price.
-Needless to say I am assuming no accident damage at all.
-This is not an ACR. Wheels are not right and badging is not there.
-The car had nitrous. This can be an issue and you will have to be certain about the condition of the engine or it will lower the value. I would say it is an average to basic job in terms of install. Plumbing running into the plastic intake tubes does not inspire a great deal of respect from me and most here.
-The 1 of 75 is meaningless in the Viper world. It is not a "known" or "accepted" limited edition. For example, an ACR or a Final Edition car, have specific and certified production numbers. As mentioned.... we don't know if #2 was ever made. This could be a plaque made by the owner.
- 2001 Vipers had ABS. This is a plus for some... a detriment for others.

Given all the above, without seeing it, I would say you can ask for $32K to $38K and assume you will be selling about 10 to 15% below that. This figure is based mostly on the low mileage.

If you paid less than $20K, you got a great deal. $25K, IMHO, you got a reasonable deal. $26 to $28K, you did OK. Anything above that... my apologies, but you may have been sold a "story".

As another member did with the engine bay, the more photos you give us the better. Take photos of the brakes, suspension, trunk area, and a few more shots around the engine bay. With that, a few of us here can give you more detail as to what is stock or not.

Don't sweat the tires... If they are original, you are swapping them. If they are worn, your are replacing them. Hell, I would replace them regardless. It's $1300 installed. Let the buyer worry about it.

Lastly, this or any forum has the occasional smart a__... don't pay attention to them. Just read all the replies and take those that answer reasonably to mind. Form your opinion and what you can start at. Since you mentioned you are not in a rush.... list it for whatever you want.... if you get no bites.... go lower. You'll get a bite eventually. At the end of the day, Dodge nly made about 1,500 to 2,000 of these a year... trust me... you'll sell it.

Anything under $25k would be a great deal. Anything under $30k would be a good deal. Under $35k would be average. Just my opinion.

[HOLDEM]

"You have no idea what it's worth" but you know you got a good deal???? How?
Why are you so reluctant to say WHAT you paid for it? You want advise, not a buyer from this sight, right?
What does the carfax show? Any accidents, is it a clear and clean title? All impact the value?
Whats the Vin?
Lots of questions here.........

[dave6666]

This thread topic would not be recommended at the Alley. And sadly, the people that the posers here call asses, are the ones that post there and know about these cars.

$2.00

[Thawk97]

I agree - you might even find a buyer here, but knowing what you actually bought it for would actually help us baseline how much it's worth. The person selling it likely had some reasoning behind their sale price and that may provide insight into obscure info (or at least what they were thinking or possibly trying to hide).

We won't judge - just provide honest feedback. Sharing pricing here is very common for all of us.

[ICPREY]

Put it on a dyno, do a leak down test, and make sure the fluids and tires (newer) are good. Depending on how fast you want to sell it I would list it at $42K and settle for $38k. This is assuming the title is clear with no stories..
