I did that with my gen 2 and I swore I wouldn't worry about miles on my cars after that as life can change in an instant. Accidents, health, financial changes etc alter things much faster. I'm definitely a proponent of helping champion value retention as the viper truly deserves to have that given the real value of the car as FCA marketing just completely dropped the ball in that department. However it's all about smiles per gallon. I just passed 5k miles and I know that impacts value but the real value comes with enjoying the car and truly experiencing one of the last and purist examples of a true driving machine. It's sooooo worth it.
I spoke with a pretty connected owner for a few hours the other night who paid msrp on the original loaded gts models and he doesn't even care as it's a car he's enjoying, using and not selling. I love meeting owners and talking for hours at a gas station about cars. That's something only experienced by driving and engaging the car. Not to derail the thread but man, you have a very desirable car and color. No doubt my sound catches a ton of attention but next to that sound is comments on the color. Pictures will never do our color justice but people know how great it looks. So I'd say be glad you have a car you can enjoy and likely have high resale value given how all vipers likely will uptic and especially since yours is limited edition, in demand and with a color that is limited to very few vipers. Enjoy what we have in the moment as that's all we are in control of. And with that, gonna wash my beast and take it for a drive to go put some lead on target with my guns on this beautiful 4th of July day!
