buying car 96 b/w or 99 acr need help.

looking at two cars I need to make a discission by wed. 96 blue white 9000 miles or a 99 acr silver w/blue stripe acr with no ac 1 of 23 or so 11,000miles the 96 is a $3000 cheaper .

If I buy the 99 I will be putting the ac on it also has chrome wheels that hurt it some & headers exhaust no cats and stereo stuff due to the car had radio delete when it was new the 96 is all stock other than exhaust.

My question to you guys is in 5 years witch car do you guys think will be worth more money to hang on 2.

'96 B/W if its real clean ...

well , in all honesty you should buy one of the 3 TT GTS's for sale or the '06 supercharged coupe , and while your at it - you should buy my outlaw 10.5w car to add to your race stable.

B/W..just sounds like a better deal. But then again, I'm biased.

B/W will hold it's value better, even though more of them were made.

Get the car you like better, don't worry about resale.

Of coarse I would go with the B/W, but both cars are an awesome color combo.

My question to you guys is in 5 years witch car do you guys think will be worth more money to hang on 2.
I say buy the car you want cause who really knows what the market will be for both in 5yrs vs. today vs. some other point in time? As far as I can tell, with so many of the 1 of XX Vipers DC has turned out, I don't think it has proven to really increase their value to date.

I think part of the decision also depends on what you plan to do with the car while under your ownership. Personally, I don't think a bastardized ACR (Adding stereo, AC and not having ACR wheels to put on for re-sale) will hold its value as well as the B&W unless you plan on modding the B&W similarly or putting the ACR back to stock for resale.

Like they say, assholes are like opinions, everyone has one or something like that

One outlaw 10.5 car is enough to keep going you need a hole team to race them.

Get the B&W if you plan on barely driving it, but if you are looking for a car to drive hard, track, etc. then go with the 99. The 96 is more of a collectors item if it is clean and has low mileage.

Get the one you like more. To be honest, I personally see the B/W holding it's value better, but that also depends on how much you drive it. The silver/blue car will probably drive better, especially with the AC retrofit.
