[Lizzardking308]

They want $249,500 for it. Wow....

[Arizona Vipers]

Not a very smart dealer lol.. They didn't even mention "ACR" in the subject line so not easy to find.

Damn id love ot have that car

[ViperJon]

They're some kind of exotic car boutique dealer with eight cars in stock. Good luck.

[Policy Limits]

Wouldn't sell mine for double that

You should, then you would be able to buy theirs for $249,500 and pocket an additional $249,500.

Money can't buy what I have. There's the price of things and then there's the value of them.

I would agree. You have it and it's important to you.

I don't know if I would buy a special edition for 260k but as someone said earlier, he is getting cheap advertising and maybe he'll take 180 and someone will feel they got a great deal.

But hey if they own it, they can ask whatever they want for it. My license plate is for sale for 10 grand. No one is probably ever gonna give me that but I'm still asking it.

You should post your thoughts over at Viperalley.com

Best shot is to pry the keys out of my dead hands!

For those that say what it's worth or not worth.

Comes down to a seller and buyer - if there are none for sale buyer pays more.

Tired of hearing the bs it's just paint - bought it to enjoy but it holds it own in any collection or against any car on track.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend with the 'just paint' comment. Only meant that it's a paint job, otherwise there's nothing different. If it had a power bump, suspension or other things that made it different, then ... but that's all, not dismissing it at all. Like I posted, some folks are really into special edition things, and if that's paint, then cool, and it'll have its value for that crowd.

It will be interesting to see how values go. With ACRs, true 1of1's and these spec eds.

Meanwhile, let's hope this thread doesn't spin into how special editions aren't worth more and others defend it, lol, pointless. There are now 2 on eBay. One is a bargain for under $200k, lolz.

did you guys ever dream an ACR - E would set track records and beat a 1.4M Porsche 918. .

You mean like it did back in 2010 when the Gen IV ACR set the Nurburgring and many other production car track records?
Viper history, you may want to brush up on it.

[Dman]

Not offended because it's not true

The ACR - E limited vs 1 of 1 vs - really I could care less but for argument sake.

Have you ever bought a limited model of something? I collect scale models and having the 1st 5th vs 100th limited edition is a big deal in value that goes for anything collectible and while I understand you and many others it's just paint the collectors of the world view it entirely different. The 1 of 1 will not carry the same panache it's just a fact.

Owning other brands you all keep beating up the Viper by stating it's not Porsche Ferrari Heritage Ford - did you guys ever dream an ACR - E would set track records and beat a 1.4M Porsche 918.

The ACR - E broke the glass ceiling the limited editions will go to high end collectors sitting along side 1M - 5M vehicles.

Outside of collectors drivers who enjoy their cars and own a La Ferrari 918 Mclaren P1 are also buying the ACR - E.

Let me add one more thing - just bought a paint to sample GT3RS it carries a premium of 50 - 100k and it's truly just paint unlike the Viper Special Editions. I would have paid a like premium today for a special edition so the e-bay ads while may appear nuts only time will tell.

I have bought limited edition, but not for just paint like with the viper special editions. I've done it because it came with performance enhancements not available on other models.

At the end of the day, a viper special edition is a viper special edition paint job. To those who collect special edition widgets, watches, Hummel's, whatever, they'll be worth more. I'm not a special edition enthusiast, I'm a car enthusiast, so to me an ACRE with a VE Stage 2 is far more valuable, and honestly I'm not a fan of the paint schemes they picked. But that's what's great, guys like me won't be competing to buy the cars guys like you want and vice versa, so it works out great, and since it's opinion, neither is wrong. As to how much they'll ultimately be worth, no one knows until someone can read the future, but still no matter, guys who buy these for investment will care and guys who don't won't .. still works out great. No losers.

I am doing the stage 2 by the same guy that did yours

For argument sake it's not jus paint - it's a numbered edition and there is no one better in the world than Ferrari / Fiat at marketing and they pulled this one right out of their playbook which brought many people to the brand that previously never owned a Viper.

SRT have done countless 'Last', 'Limited', 'First' editions (all numbered) etc well before they had anything to do with Ferrari and Fiat so don't think this is something new and unique to the Gen V's (or some super secret Ferrari playbook). I know your Ltd will be the most sought after model .....ever, so I wont go there.

Also, I did see that McDonalds had a new line of Ltd edition toys and I will be sure to collect all 4 !

Ok what years are you talking about and what cars were they compared against.

918 P1 LaFerrari - that's the league this current Viper is in going head to head with the greatest hyper cars in very good financial times.

Enjoy your Mickey D's and feel free to truncate at will.

I love vipers as much as any of you guys but lets be clear... 918, P1, LaFerrari are all cars that can beat the viper on the track marginally. They all totally destroy the viper ACRE in a straight light (especially the 918), and the finish of the interior and automatic options aren't even comparable. It's a great car, but let's not get carried away with comparing apples to oranges here. There is a reason those cars cost 1.4 million+. I do think (and maybe I'm bias because I love vipers) that the viper is the best bang for your buck around. The corvette held that title until the ACRE came into town. That doesn't necessarily bode well for an investment looking at the last 30 years of vettes depreciations. Not to say they will follow suit since again you're comparing apples to oranges. The reality is that if for some reason the "limited editions" vipers of 2017 become worth $1,000,000 tomorrow, all the other ACREs would still be worth $900,000 so we all win. No need to fight. There are more limited edition vipers than ACRE or GTC ACRE vipers combined this year. There just aren't a lot out there. They are all special and very individualized for having such a low number produced.

With all due respect to anyone who has any final edition car. I just don't get this premium asked above and beyond sticker price. I mean apart from a special paint job, and perhaps a couple of decals or plaques, why would anyone pay such a premium for this type of car? The ACR is a tool with a specific purpose and in that respect this final edition has nothing more than frippery added to it. Otherwise same engine, same suspension, same seats etc apart from a couple of pearlescent paint and a couple of badges. I mean the car hasn't even achieved classic status in the conventional sense yet either. So why?? Sorry maybe I'm just in a grumpy mood!

It can seem silly since it is just paint. But some people really like special editions, I mean they have special edition ear phones and game controllers. So, with cars, it's good marketing. And for those who like them, it's great. For those not interested, it's no biggy.

I'd rather do a new ACR with HC pkg, and then buy a new Z06 for a DD than spend $250k on this, but I am a weirdo.

As for the ad, maybe offer $239k, save $10k for xpel. Pfft, lol.

As would anyone with a brain.

[Taximan1]

the beautiful thing about ebay is.. For a $50 insertion fee.. You can list almost anything, at any price... why stop at $249k?? go for $1 million OBO. I would say...

so, for 50 bucks.. this seller now has a thread generated about his dealership, plus the ad itself, which will probably get 2500-3500 views in 7 days... where else can you get that kind of exposure per dollar? lol

[Track Pack]

I find it funny they used all stock photos including the dash plaque showing car #1 which was likely the dash plaque from the car pictured which is not the car for sale. Good luck.

[Vegaskid]

These really can't be going for 250...

[ClayR]

It is not going to be sold.

Agreed. This is ridiculous.

Actually not that good of a deal at around $15 / 1000 impressions. Regular targeted (programmatic) online advertising would be a fraction of that. ;-)

Money can't buy what I have. There's the price of things and then there's the value of them.

Well money did buy it, didn't it? ;-)

[7TH_SIGN]

Lol at the asking price. There's and a$$ for every seat. It's disturbing to think of what other cars you could buy for that price and what kind of a GEN V monster you could build.

[99RT10]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I think it's worth every penny.
