[ViperGeorge]

Hmmm... Carfax says it has 100 miles and was a 1 owner car. Dealer says it has 50 miles. Either way still a good price even if used for 100 miles.

[ViperGeorge]

Here's another example with only 2 miles on it.

Invoice on a no option SRT is in the very very very low 90s.

[FLATOUT]

Still wouldn't trade my ACR + cash for it, but it's getting tempting.

[V10LEE]

I thought I got a good deal..



Still wouldn't trade my ACR + cash.

Smart..

[ACRucrazy]

Still wouldn't trade my ACR + cash for it, but it's getting tempting.

Haha. Same how I feel. I don't even think I could give up the ACR if I was offered a straight trade.

[FLATOUT]

The TA's interest me but that's the only one right now that I would possibly jump ship for but even that's a tough call.

I do like the new cars though.

[Newport Viper]

Come on Convertible!

I have to be honest with you. I don't own either a Gen IV or a V (which should be remedied this year), but it is a tough call for me on whether I'd go with a Gen V over a Gen IV ACR. The Gen IV is still stunning 6 years later. I bet my mind will shift if/when SRT releases the ACR. I really think with the success of the special editions and the release of the Z06 that we'll see it very soon. Good thing I have to wait until December anyways.

Hey what's invoice on a fully optioned GTS? 120k?

[VRYALT3R3D]

I will try and find that out for you.

Thnx. I know I paid a premium to have it first & have no regrets. Just wondering what that is and I don't think it's unreasonable for a buyer to know what he's paying for.

Check out this 2013 black GTS, sticker is $133,490 and they are selling for $99,999?

Has it been titled? What is the mileage?

[Brad00GTS]

It is used, they are only offering a 2 year warranty.

[KRATEDISEASE]

wow, 2008 pricing in 2014 !!!


Woohoo

[cashcorn]

Policy Limits for me, invoice was a starting point. internet is your best friend. I played a handful of dealers at there game & figured I got the price I was very happy with.

[Policy Limits]

Still don't have an answer. What is invoice on a new, not titled, GTS?

[ViperSmith]

SRT invoice: $92,069
GTS invoice: $113,229

[Timnineside]

I seen a track pack 13 with 600 miles for $89K. That was a great deal but it was red. Come fall of 2014 I may be ready to buy. Like FLATOUT and others said snagging up a TA is tempting but giving up my 08 for would hard.

Especially for the price difference. hard pill to swallow when you looked at it in that fashion. If your just buying it outright, it does not seem so much, but when you factor in a trade or selling your car and adding the extra cash, it hurts real bad. Especially when your getting it from both ends. your losing on your car and losing on the new car as soon as you step on the gas peddle and drive it 10 ft.

I don't know about you guys, but I respect my money too much to just hand it over realizing the loss incurred.

[Policy Limits]

Well u can't take it with ya. And when you're six feet you're gonna be there for a while. Perspective

The longer you hold out on realizing your dreams the greater chance you won't realize them whether its purchasing exotics, attending professional school or traveling the world. We die a little every day. Carpe Diem.

No need to spend recklessly, but missing the boat all together is unfortunate

[KRATEDISEASE]

The person who's father and mother lived until 90 or 95 years has the perception that their life will be as long.

The person who's father died of a heart attack at 39 and who's mother died of cancer at 42, and who's brother or sister died in a car accident at 24 thinks that today is his last day.

Just Spend accordingly to how long you think you will live.

Surely There are no rules or "wisdom" in this department.

This. Can you please explain this to my account and financial advisor? Life is short, and I've lost a couple friends recently to an early death.

[Policy Limits]

Lol. FA's get rich off their clients. Have you seen Wolf of Wall Street? He was a broker not an FA but same point.

Saving is important but just consider the source of the person advising it and their possible personal incentive and own financial gain. Just perspective

[VENOM V]

Man these cars are steals! Can't believe that GTS for $99k. Maybe I'll sell my Camaro and get a second Viper as a dedicated track car. So tempting! Can't afford it yet but that may be my long term plan. Although the Camaro has the benefit that it's cheap to fix if god forbid I kiss a wall on the track.

For those of you on the fence, deals can't get much better than this. And if you're thinking about a TA, they're selling fast and may sell out.

Amen brother. My friend's wife just passed away suddenly from cancer at way too young an age. Devastating.

My dad always dreamed of tracking his Ferrari. Now sadly he's too old to even try. Worked too hard for too long, now some dreams are forever out of reach.

I seem to have mastered "living in the now," lol. Track events every month. No regrets.

[TrackAire]

Life is short....enjoy it now!!

Interesting to note that the free market will be getting the Gen 5's moving after the initial launch with what many thought was a price point that was too high and many unfavorable media reviews. Now that pricing is coming down, the Gen 5 will move and many will find out what a great car it is. After that happens, the value of the Gen 5 may start creeping up, especially if production ever stops.

Very similar to what happened to the Ford GT.....over priced at the launch and then dealers couldn't sell them anywhere near MSRP a year later. Now look at the values of a 9 year old Ford GT, yikes!!

Cheers,
George

[Policy Limits]

Yup difficult to find a decent example in a Ford GT for less than 1/4 mill. I think them stopping production all together had a lot to do with it though. It's a great car; like the Viper, one of my favs

[Troublemaker]

I completely agree about the price and the fact that its price skyrocketed after the production ceased. But that was also a car that commemorated one of the greatest and most recognizable race cars ever. Ford actually did the body perfectly to update yet keep the original shape there. That one goes against every rule of car appreciation this early in its life. It's completely out of my league, but I can look and drool. I honestly think even when the Viper production does end, they won't follow that curve as quickly. The white with blue stripe 96 GTS will probably be the only ones that appreciate quickly as there were only three made, the blue with white stripe will eventually have its day, but it's a long way off.

By the time any Viper is worth keeping it in a Garage and not driven and thus, not enjoyed,

We won't be worth anything !!

Your better off putting that money into an empty piece of land in the middle of now where.

[Troublemaker]

Agreed, that's why I drive mine any chance I get. The only time it sits is when there is salt on the road.

I don't run it as much as others but I drive it at least once per week.

One of my colleagues is a car guy, was going to retire at the end of this year at age 60. We always talked about what cars he wanted to buy, cars he regretted not buying, and what he planned to do when he retired. He had a stroke last week, almost died. Half of his body isn't working now.

I'd rather die broke, having lived my life to the limits.

If your bills are paid, and you can afford something, buy it. Enjoy it.

[Mamba52]

Wow great deals out there. So is Ringold dodge getting out of the Viper biz.

[johniew398]

I struggled for a couple of months about giving up my ACR for the TA. Glad I did. I'm enjoying the TA and I'm also glad Leslie is enjoying the ACR.

Neither one of us have been able to drive them though. I don't know about Leslie but I have only been able to drive my 280 miles and I've had it a month now.

[Policy Limits]

Tough getting delivery in the winter. Hope the sun comes out soon! I saw a pic of a black TA today with the orange badging & it was sexy & mean too!

[Lokien]

To guys complaining about price/premiums, this one is just a couple grand over half the price I got my GTS at.. and I would do it again and again with no regrets. Still the best car even when you double its price

[08viperviolet]

No Ringgold is not getting out of the viper. They are trying to move all new cars on the lot. They have 7 and will make very good deal on them. I just bought a ta from them. Had problem with engine lights after I picked it up they are going to fix it and ship it to me Andy is great to deal with. I will post pics after I get back home. The Orange ta in person is awesome.

Check out the thread "Check Engine light on my 2014 GTS". Probably the same problem, TEC numerators need to be relearned. Instructions are in that thread. Apparently more common that SRT would like. There is a good chance if their tech asks the Chryster Tech support line, he will get the wrong instructions. Mine did.

How much dealer cash back is made by stealerships? Does it depend on how many allocations they have or is it a flat rate?

Same kinda thing pushed me to buy our 09 vert. My mother-in-law had 2 heart attacks, 3x by-pass, and a medium sized stroke, all in 1 week last Oct!!! And on the way to and from the Hospital, there sat a 2008 Gen IV coupe at the local Porsche dealer, that is when I really started thinking about "when am I going to step up and buy my dream car"??? And now we have it. Our house paid for, our kids college is paid for, time is short, don't wait too long, or time passes you by......

IMO the best route is buying a low miles car as second owner while its still under warranty, regardless of the brand. I only lost about 24% on the Lamborghini this way, with 3.5 years worth of ownership.

Russ, Criswell in MD has a 2014 Silver GTS w/ SRT hood, red interior, carbon fiber aero and interior.

That's what I did to achieve my price point of $90K including ttl. Bought a red base with 1200 miles. Paid $46k + trade on my 2006 coupe. Important to have someone you trust research car's history to make sure there are no surprises. In the end, was it a good deal....a great deal??? It was a satisfying one and sufficiently compelling.
