Ok really seriously considering the car I always wanted but cant afford it new. Have a few questions for you guys....
1) What is a good price for a 98-99 Red RT/10 with say 23K miles on it? KBB and edmunds say a 98 in excellent condition sold privately should be around $35-$36K, a 99 around $38-40K. Has anyone purchased one of these years for this range? Most of them I have found are around $42K to $53K on up.
2) I know all cars depreciate over time, but I'm thinking this one will turn around in another 4-7 years. I've seen some 92-93 RT's (with hardly any miles) going for some crazy numbers. Then I've seen a few of these going for mid to high 20's. I'm figuring there is not a ton of 98 or 99's out there, so will this thing turn around and start appreciating in 4-6 years or am I just dreaming here?
3) Do they make any kind of aftermarket emergency roof for the RT that fits in your trunk so that somehow if you got caught in the rain you don't get sogafied? I know I would never drive it in the rain but thunderstorms do come up unexpectedly sometimes.
4) Are stock parts really expensive? For instance I currently am trying to sell my 99 E55 AMG and a pair of front rotors for this car costs over $900 for this car. (not installed) That to me is is just a waste.
Thanks for any replies, just trying to learn as much about this car as possible.
