Gen 5 Result at Mecum

[Matt Houston]

Quite a deal for a Gen 5... 63K plus buyer's commission.

A much better buy than clapped out TA 2.0s IMO.

[SRT_BluByU]

wow someone got a great deal!

[99RT10]

So total around $69K? Not a bad deal at all. Just hope it has the 100K mile warranty.

What's more telling is the Seller got $56,700 for this car, not to mention what it cost to get the car there. Would have done way better just selling it on his own.

Correct. Why do people use Mecum anyway? Seller could have listed it online for $65K and it would have sold quickly (assuming no issues).

[OneofOneViper]

SRT vipers really just don't hold their value and neither do GTS. I've seen quite a few in the 60's now. Only ones that seem to hold value well are TA1.0 and GTC ACRE's. Even the normal ACRE's seem to not fetch close to what the GTC's do.

Either way, terrible deal for the seller---pretty standard deal after commission for the buyer.

[AZTVR]

What is the history on this car ? Is it the one that had flames painted all over it, and since been repainted? Maybe the seller had a good reason to sell it at auction rather than private party sale?

[Scott_in_fl]

Seems illogical for someone to willingly give up at least $10k for no good reason. Something is afoot here.

[cubeman]

Carmax probably would have offered more. At the end of the day who cares it's that persons car, not like someone is sitting there averaging out viper sale figures to kill the market.

It looks like a base model except for the ACR wheels. The base model price after the later price reduction was $87,895. The 2014 TA's, even with the price reduction, would have been about $111,000 or so adjusted for it. And we do not know the mileage on the auction car although it does look very clean. The car is, at a minimum, three plus years old and probably four years old. The price does not seem far off to me. The car looks great but there is nothing special about it.

Am I not seeing the same car? I see a black Viper with a red driver's stripe. I also see matte black Sidewinder II's. What ACR wheels are you or the ad speaking of. The ad mentions Hyper ACR wheels, I am not seeing that.

[CNU_Physics]

Did someone repaint the silver interior bits gold?

[Racingswh]

Numbers seem soft and hardly anything is selling. Does anyone know when the Voodoo car runs if it does tonight at all?

[38D]

Did someone repaint the silver interior bits gold?

No,that is standard on the ACRs. It looks subtler IRL.

[Taximan1]

Base SRT car with paintwork all over it, and unknown mileage.

Voo Doo cars have been pulling strong numbers.

What did it actually sell for? If it's anywhere near the estimate the buyers an idiot who prefers a used already titled one over a brand new one for less:

EDIT: I assume its already titled, don't see anything indicating it has not.

[camarochevy1970]

It sold for $170 back in May

[Policy Limits]

Seems there's not a lot of logic to the auction. On social media someone asked Mecum if they disclose mileage and if the bidder knows mileage; they responded that it's a blind bid without mileage known. Yikes.

With autotrader, cars .com, dupont registry, etc you get mileage, carfax, can set up a PPI, etc. Seems a lot safer and more sound.

[camarochevy1970]

you can see the mileage at a mecum auction as well. The cars are unlocked, and if the fobs aren't there, all you have to do is ask a buyers assistant to get the keys for you.

That's not what Mecum said...two days ago

I'm not certain that the brand new one at VE has been available at that price for some time now. The pricing on any of the low volume final year ACR-E's is quite a bit stronger than that these days.

All that says is that Mecum employees do not take the responsibility of reading and reporting the mileage displayed on a car's odometer. As stated above, the cars are available before they go on the block for visual inspection.
