Someone didn't read 'Art of the Deal'. I never expected to get $150K for it. My biggest miscalculation was not considering the fact that the majority of the viper "cuck-munity" is mostly beta males with man-boobs, afraid to negotiate and demonstrably afraid of risk. Many of them have one foot in...
A buyer paid $92,400 for this car - what was I wrong about? BJ fumbled the auction bigly by not even stating any of its main selling points. 3 more vipers to go. Don't you wish you weren't such a dumbass?
a) I didn't buy the car as an investment.
b) The buyer paid $92.4K; I get about $80K.
c)...
Well, I'm nearly $80K richer and your penis still measures up to 2.5" no matter how much you stroke it. :D
Sure, $84K was a disappointing result and B-J definitely rushed it over the block without even mentioning it's main selling points...but you seem to be confused my butthurt friend, you...
They did a lot of promos for it, including email and featured spots on their own website and FB page. I didn't see that one. Crosses the block today in a few hrs.
Why? That's what happened. I found it amusing that people are playing games like that.
Well, the cars go for what they're perceived to be worth AND lot assignment plays a big role in what they end up going for since that determines the caliber of buyer present. Gen 5 Vipers are hot right...
You must be one of those who takes everything at face value.
It has nothing to do with my car, it's about the assigned lot. There are limited lots, and the lot you aer assigned determines which group of cars yours will be rolled over the stage with as well as the date and approximate time. To...
Just a little update....wow...after my car got it's lot assignment, which I am assured is fantastic and one of the best lot assignments of all assignments, I start getting people contacting me left and right offering my ask price of $150K or close to it - but they all need "a few weeks to get...

Comps for previously sold Gen 5 GTS at B-J auctions:
A white 2014 GTS sold for $99K in Scottsdale 2016.

A red 2013 GTS sold for $98K in Vegas 2014...
@ViperJeff My rationale is that there are going to be over 1,500 well-heeled buyers, somewhat inebriated, and ready to bid...so I'm going to take a leap of faith.
Well, after some deliberation I decided to go ahead with this and enter my SR GTS to the Palm Beach auction. They won't let me put a reserve on the car because it's only for cars with an estimated value of $150K, and they're estimating mine to be $100K or so "realistically", so whatever... I...
Thanks for the detailed response. I know this info isn't usually stuff that car makers publish so it's good that you were able to put together as much as you did. Do you have any idea of how many of the SR Vipers were demo/promo units or did all cars with VINs get sold to the public at some point?
On this page, near the bottom:
http://www.theviperregistry.com/build.php
It displays a breakdown of Vipers produced according to their color, and I'm specifically interested in the stryker red cars. Trying to find some credible documentation as to the actual number of SR Vipers produced and...
On one hand, I feel like most people who see this car in person and are in the market for some type of nice car will strongly consider buying it...but on the other hand, I've watched older B-J auctions where brand new 2018-2019 vettes are bid up over $1M (for charity) but the Viper was only able...
I was actually contacted by B-J a few days ago about consigning my car with them. The dates are April 12th to 15th and it's in Palm Beach, FL. Supposed to be one of the larger gatherings for B-J.
They charge an insertion fee of up to $1,200 and require that you get the car to them at your...
You mean this one?

Looks like final price was $210K if this proxibid site is correct:

Nice car. Was it originally a TA...
I have no interest in transporting the car to them nor do I want to pay ridiculous fees to some auction house. Besides, nobody, not even B-J, has one to sell.
Mine hasn't been listed for sale since fall but I get several people emailing me every few weeks asking about it, a few made offers but not enough. Demand is definitely increasing!
On ebay and other auctions, special edition / LE Vipers are fetching higher and higher prices as clued-in buyers snatch them up while they can. MSRP+ for preowned Gen Vs is quickly becoming the "bottom". This buying frenzy, combined with the Trump Economy of Endless Winning, strongly suggests...

Where's that valuation, slugger? We're waiting on it. Explain to us your pricing model for Gen 5 vipers.
No specific problems exclusive to any model year, and recalls have addressed the "major" ones that really were not that major since they only affected a small percentage of all owners, and...
No bru, no. A sale is a transaction in which both the buyer AND the seller agree on a price. If I want to sell at a specific price and there are no buyers, then we wait. That's how it works. You talk like there is some pressing need for a car to sell within a week - but there's not. Someone...
