Lowered price of Viper - now $11,355 below Kelly blue book

Mike_W · June 2nd, 2006, 12:48 PM

Yup - I am desperate to sell. Just want to not have to make another payment on it. My businesses come first and I am having a scary year.

http://www.viperalley.com/classified...2&cat=2&page=1

2002 Dodge Viper GTS - 20,800 miles
B&B Race Header System
Hi-Flow Cats (Metal Substrate)
B&B Cat Back System
Underdrive Pulleys
PCM Reprogrammed
B&M Short Shifter

Car is in excellent condition. No dings or dents. No Chips on the paint except perhaps the underside of the front (Get on your knees and look underneath)

Always garaged.

I opened another business and neither the existing business or new business is doing as expected. Just trying to relieve myself from some debt before I actually have to.

I am only asking what I currently owe on it. It is blue booked at $59,500 with kelly blue book. That is not included the mods.

If anyone has any questions - you can call me at 951-313-9389 or email me at ftwheeler@earthlink.net

holyshit, thats a steal..

Mike_W · June 2nd, 2006, 01:29 PM

Yeah I know. It saddens me but screw it.

Anyway - I just had someone call me and ask if it will pass smog. I couldn't tell him it would because I don't know if it will with the B&B Race Headers. The original "tin" was put back over the headers so it looks stock to someone who doesn't know any better I suppose.

Will it actually pass smog though with those mods assuming all things are mechanically sound?

PCM reprogram will likely play more of a part in pass/no pass on smog.
Mine has never had a problem w/ heads/cam/headers/hi-flo cats/rockers.

WOW is that a deal! i cant beleive this is still for sale.

Mike_W · June 2nd, 2006, 02:22 PM

Yeah I know. I try to get chicks to take advantage of me and that never seems to work. Now I am trying to just get taken advantage of period and I can't even do that properly. I am a loser.

I have already had a few calls though.

I only wish I had the money available for that car. What a bargain ... Seriously. It's a steal in my opinion.

I agree. Im not a big fan of red but if i didnt buy my car last month i would be ALL over this deal.

If you can wait a few days throw it up on ebay for 5 days, it should sell for more than that.

vipergts2000 · June 2nd, 2006, 02:30 PM

Mike....Livin in CA and just selling mine it passed ok. I had headers and exhaust and re-programmed PCM.

Damn I should buy this car....

Mike_W · June 2nd, 2006, 02:37 PM

It is already up on ebay with no bids but I just lowered the price this morning.

Sorry to hear you're having a bad spell, Mike. I always liked your posts, and wish you well.

Thanks Schill,

I'll be fine. Just trying to switch some things around for the time being. Worst case scenerio - I go BK, I lose my tanning salons, my girlfriend leaves me, my dog decides it wants to go with her and I am left with my Xbox 360 and TV.

If I lose the Xbox 360 and TV though, I'll probably just off myself.

Best case scenerio:

I sell my cars that I don't need (the viper and my infiniti), I make it through slow season at both salons, the weather picks up next year in California for busy season, new salon supports itself, and I no longer have to work for a few years again. Then I can stay home and play xbox 360 again.

So you see, it is all about the xbox 360.

**Matt** · June 2nd, 2006, 03:29 PM

Good luck Mike. For that price it WILL sell. There's someone out there who's just waiting for a deal like this.

The Great One · June 2nd, 2006, 03:51 PM

Wow, this is a STEAL. Whoever jumps on this is going to be a very lucky person.

Mike_W · June 2nd, 2006, 04:30 PM

SOLD for the time being. Have accepted a deposit and will not entertain other offers unless this doesn't go through.

Thanks guys

Agree. I rarely feel bad after reading one of Mikes posts. Glad to hear the car sold, I was going to buy it until you used the magic marker to color the dash. Good luck with the salons.

mamovaka · June 2nd, 2006, 07:30 PM

Ugh that sucks.. tough thing about being in business for yourself.. you have up and down cycles.. gorgeous car though..Understand about the xbox 360..easy to drop a GF.. hard to drop a VIPER and XBOX 360!

It's just a sticker. Peels right off. Don't worry. Prices like this come around all the time.

For a 1997 with 60,000 miles.
