Viper values and fuel costs!!

[GTS]

This fuel rise must be really hitting our values??

[TheStoat]

Dunno, I've not really thought about selling to be honest

I think it's a premium car so the values won't fall that far unless the car is really old or has been blinged up with hideous wheels etc... Or has actually been driven regularly and racked up the miles

Ive got 50p for that old yellow Viper if you dont want it



I think Andy's right though, if you are using the car every day the fuel price is going to hurt and that may affect values but not many of us use these cars daily.

The way I justify it to compare what an evening out down the pub with a curry after and a cab to and from the pub would cost! So a full tank of petrol and a day out away from the family in the car is cheap

[ViperDave]

Does anyone with a viper actually monitor their fuel consumption, i have never felt the need and the day i do should be the day i sell them both

[fatboy18]

I monitor mine, I try to see how fast I can empty it

go to Germany with Mich, he emptied his GTS with a brimmed tank in 20 minutes ! think he said his average was around 130mph, it would of been less minutes but he slowed a little because it was pitch black

I can vouch for lightening, he is bloody good with petrol, in fact I have been amazed at how little he has been using, even in heavy traffic!

[GTSDave]

As Dave has said above, day I feel the need to start monitoring my MPG on the Viper I honestly believe it will be time to start thinking about selling... Not a day I want to consider...
As for Values... Nope, not seen anything which would suggest a dramatic shift at the moment.

[fatboy18]

Seeing as they have just reduced the price of fuel by a whole 1p I reckon that's put at least another £1000 on the Value of my toy

I did. Once.

[TheStoat]

I did for a few weeks to see how much I got out of it when just wafting around on the commute. I've only managed 24mpg max but it is nice to surprise people when they snigger about fuel consumption...

[Viper Nigel]

I went green and sold my 4x4 as it wasn't as economical as the Viper!

On a reasonable run Bling does between 24-26 mpg - but then who really cares. Consumption was never a consideration when I bought my first Viper.
