anyone looking to sell their viper or trade in to a dealership

This makes me sad, Harold.

Amazing price for a sweet silver snake.

Buy it and mod to your hearts content 😂

[swexlin]

I am getting ready to list my Silver 2015 SRT with 8,000 miles for $71k. never modded. New rear tires and new fronts sitting in the basement.

Sorry to hear Harold. That's a nice car.

harold can you please pm me details of the car- options, date of warranty expiration, location.

Yea, people don't give value credit for the GTS, buyers compare prices of base $85k cars with $140k stickered cars. That's why GTSs have such devasting depreciation. The upscale model thing just didn't hold in the aftermarket. Even new they pretty much ditched it for the GT. When I see all the GTSs the Gerry Wood bought for 2017, it blows my mind, new and aftermarket have shown they're just not valued up over a GT in buyers minds.

The GTS order amounted to only 7 of the 141 Vipers we ordered, and we are seeing movement on them. We are delivering our black GTS today, and we have deposits on 2 others. The Viper buyer is moving from GT's to GTS as this is the last year and for just 15% more you get a lot more. Price is secondary to finding "that right car" that will be the last one the client will be able to buy brand new. The sales history of Viper bares little relevance to the current market, as one would expect when an entire car culture is forced to buy their last new car.

our ADVANCED AERO SOLID edition cars are also picking up, as the carbon treatment and Advanced Aero look is popular for those who don't want the "hey look at me" ACR-E Spec and rough ride.

quick update - 2 options on the table, will keep you posted. someone also contacted me with a great deal on a 15 vette, not z06 (different animal) but lets see what happens.
one of them told me that their base model trade in by a dealer came in at 62k! he is looking into the ACR when he sells the base model.

So, I guess that you would be expecting to pay at minimum, the trade-in value plus what the seller would have saved on sales tax by trading it in.

Yeah, that PLUS whatever the dealer is making on the car he's trading in for. Trade in values mean nothing.

Exactly, they are a business, they have to make money. That 62k car will be listed at 82-85, they wouldn't even entertain an offer in the 60s.

[V10powerr]

agreed, i have to offer them more than the trade in plus tax break to make sure its a win for him too not just a break even.

The dealer doesn't need to make $20K to break even! If Vipers appreciate, great. But you have 4 choices...buy what you like and pay a little higher, buy something the dealer needs to sell, buy from a private party, buy a previously wrecked one.

That 13 track pack at 68k is a no brainer...

I agree with the above regarding learning how to sell a vehicle. It's really sad to see cars having to be sold for the 60s when they are ending production, no replacement in sight and there are no real NA, manual V10 players in the segment. I think the community gets the beat down from the forums regarding prices and worth (or lack thereof) and then remember the lack of positive magazine publicity, lack of public awareness about the brand and then they just make a low ball price so someone goes "oh man I can afford this!" I understand if health concerns or something just unforseen happens which prompts a quick sale. I get it; life happens. That's why I dumped my brand new Gen V for a used Gen V that was worth it. However I see so many people selling out of fear of a potential of problems to occur and they are willing to take such a giant loss on the car that it probably outweighs the small chance of having to fix it if something occurred! Honestly there is no reason a clean low mile no stories SRT track pack shouldn't sell in the 70s. Only stories cars should be sold in the 60s. Just a shame.

From what I recall, a similar thing happened with Chrysler's winged cars (like '69 Daytona, '70 Superbird, etc.). Incredible cars for the time, but very few actual people willing to pay money for them. I think I read a story in some car magazine on how someone scored a '69 Daytona for pennies on the dollar (like 40% of original MSRP) back in 71. Of course today you need a quarter mil to get a pristine example. Same thing may happen with ACRs some day, except most of us here won't be around to see it. Yet another reason to drive yours as often as possible and enjoy it.

As far as the giant loss is concerned, the definition of "giant" differs from one person to another. A car dealership where I got one of my other cars routinely gets a stream of 1-2 year old cars. They sell them for $225k-$350K new and people trade them in 1-2 years later at 50%-60% of that on a trade-in. So someone takes a loss of $75K a year and does not look back.

I now own that red 13' track package here in Texas. great car and great price. It ended up being traded in to a dealer in Georgia and I just had them add a maxcare bumper to bumper warranty which is good until 2021 and of course the 10 year powertrain which is good until 2023.

Congrats! Nice car!

Nice choice (but I could be biased, see sig!) Congrats. I think there are 100 of the 13 Red SRT Track Pack cars, if that means anything.....
