viper as a investment

dhbydesign · May 2nd, 2006, 08:48 PM

I like all three so here is my question. IF you had to choose 1 of the three gen two cars not just buy looks but by possible collector value to come which would it be. 01 yellow /black acr , 02 gts graphite/white stripe, or the 02 gts final edition all close in low milage near the same price, or is there another?

Gen 1 92 carryover #476 of first 500 built

Darius · May 2nd, 2006, 09:01 PM

96 b/w

00SVTdubs · May 2nd, 2006, 09:04 PM

red 92 or b/w 96 with hardly any miles

why though? Buy almost any year viper and enjoy it. They dont depreciate like most cars so you can enjoy the car and when you do sell it, you dont get bent over

hard to decide I like the yellow black acr price is around 64,000 with less tha 3,000 miles im not sure how to gage the value

FE, of the choices. 96 B/W will be the collectable GTS. If you are going to drive it you can buy for a lot less by buying with a few more miles. If you are not going to drive it buy something else.

Was there ever a graphite/white car?

The Great One · May 2nd, 2006, 09:44 PM

I think the B/W GTS and the FE GTS will be the vipers that hold their value the best.

graphite with white stripes to clarify

Buy a revenue property as an investment. Buy a Viper to drive.

what is b/w black white stripe, so the y/b acr seems to have a less valued opion than the 02 final edition, I think the bummble bee apeaals to me more

dhbydesign · May 2nd, 2006, 10:40 PM

i have three peopertys already, your right about that, is the yellow black acr price is around 64,000 with less tha 3,000 miles a good deal

Are you sure they are white?! As far as I can remember, the stripes on Grapphite have always been silver. I thought white only came in the FE and Blue/white?

This shows all stripes as silver. One of the best combos! If they are truly white they are aftermarket.

I have a 96 black with silver stripe. 89856 miles and going strong. Goes for new interior next week, and a new lick of paint, after that. Just don't know if I should keep the stock stripes, or carry the stripes all the way down front/back.

**Josh M** · May 3rd, 2006, 12:46 PM

96 b/w
02 FE

will be the 2 most collectible ones.............however i wouldn't worry about resale value or what is the best investment because cars as a whole are a terrible investment and are just a toy
