So... I looked at the silver RT...... put it up on a rack... and it looks like the front rails were replaced. It needs two new wheels due to extensive curb rash... the right quarter panel... rear bumper...... front bumper... all need to be repainted.
The sport cap has two fairly large gouges where the hardtop latches dragged across the top... and the passenger side "slot" for the rear window latch is broken out.
Needless to say...... I am passing on this one...... I would think a fair value was $35K to $37K.
But.... today I found a 1999 Silver RT... one owner... 25,000 miles.... remainder of 7 year 100K warranty.... no paint damage, no collision damage.... the one owner is a 70 year old man who also owns a 2003 SRT-10.
He is asking $50K.... I offered $45K....... he came back with "not a nickle below $47.5K".......... This one has both tops...... all documentation...... it truly is a mint example......
Is $47.5K a fair price? I know it's not a "deal".... but is it fair? I am also seriously looking at that black 99 RT in the classifieds.... it seem sto be in similar condition...... but it has no warranty.... and not as clear of a history.
Give me your suggestions.... please? I have a buyer for my 1996 RT at $37K.... so I would be putting $10K into the 99 RT.
Thanks in advance.....
