gen v viper wanted

[brianlewis]

Before I go down the import route just wondering are there any nice gen v vipers for sale at a sensible price in the UK ?

Merrick has his Launch Edition Gen 5 Viper for sale in the classifieds. Its been on Display on our Club stand at the London Classic Car show Syon Park. Beautiful Car

You may find one in Europe but now that we have left the EU there will be import taxes to pay, registration etc.

If you go the American import route I can tell you shipping container prices have rocketed the last couple of years and again Import duties IVA and VAT are all payable.

Thanks Fatboy18 , red would be my first choice but I do like the blue / white
that one appears to be well overpriced , I know everything has increased since the virus but remember the same car for sale in the Fiat garage for about 80k with way under half the mileage it has now.

HI Brian, well the last couple of years prices have shot up, sure it's a buyers market, it always has been, but like I said, now that we have left the EU tax and duties are now payable and in the USA viper prices are not cheap!
Good luck with your quest.

I wouldn't call it a buyers market when there are barely a handful of cars for sale globally.

I'd call it a small market where it's neither good for buyer's or seller's, it's just pot luck if someone is looking to sell what your willing to buy at a mutually agreeable price and prices are all over the place.

You could decide you don't want to pay more than 100k for a blue g4 acr but if none of the three owners want to sell one for less than 150k your stuffed

Definitely not well over priced. The price in 2017 when I purchased it, is irrelevant to value today.

Cheapest Gen V GTS for sale in the US according to auto tempest is $120k. Do the math on getting that here and registered and you will be above my asking price and it is not a Launch Edition and has higher miles.

Good luck with your search.

Well Said Sir People just don't realise how few Vipers there are! Just 2,427 Gen V Vipers were produced from 2013 to 2017, some of that number have been lost from Accidents and fire (one medusa T/A Viper went up in flames in a parking lot).

As said above by 8.4L 154 would take a big offer to get my ACR of me.

My car sold at very close to full ask. Easy transaction with someone who knew the value of what they were buying. Never understood people who don’t want to buy cars that are appreciating. I’d rather buy a car going up in value than one going down.

A Gen V first edition Blue white stripes has come on the market in Texas USA today price is $160k

But there is now a Red Gen V on PHh in the UK for £109k
