08 Vipers sales seem to be slow....

[evomind]

Right on. Many are above or at MSRP but there are always a few available under MSRP. There are also many dealers out there willing to give the car at invoice or close to when you order one. Just takes a little looking.

like which ones?

FYI...i happen to be in jonesboro , arkansas this week so i gave shelby a call at elite autos to check out his current inventory of gallardos and 430s,,,he said he wasn't dealing any gallardos or ferraris at the current time because they are just NOT selling... so i think in perspective the 08 viper is selling well...btw he does have a stock of 11 ford gt

 

[ssnaked]

I am not surpised. Everyone thought the 06 FE would fly off the shelf and it did not. Wait a year and you will get 08's below list and if the 06 FE is any indication, way below list.

Who Wants To Wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Viper X]

I wouldn't wait on the 08.

Get them while you can.

Know of three convertibles and one coupe as of last week. PM if interested.

All sales are slow right now for about everything. The BJ auction sold a ford gt with 985 miles for 145k.........10% sellers fee, the seller netted 130.5k for that car.........unbelievable!

If the 2008's are selling so slow... someone tell me where I can buy a blue convertible at or under MSRP??? I've got a guy in the market... and could use a lead on one.

I checked woodhouse's online page... no 2008's listed at all.

 

[big-n-italian]

i dont get the impression that sales are slow. whenever i talk to John Gastman @ ROMOCO, he always tells me that if i want to take pictures that i should come out right away because the car is getting shipped in the next day or two. and, i KNOW he has a list of people waiting on cars to be built.

Blue/white Vert incoming, and if sales are slow I will take this anytime ---------- have been doing this for alot of years and by the time the cars reach the lot they are all sold, so we have no inventory. I can not remember when we had nothing to actually sell on the lot, but not complaining since the Snakes arrive, get loaded, and go to their new homes. The Plant is only planning on 1500 cars this year, and currently they say demand far exceeds that. Marketing is working to keep production at promised levels, so the car stays at it's historically exclusive level. Right now theVipers coming in , and there are a bunch , we have only two available ( one is listed above).

Have fielded 6 calls and emails already this morning, so hoping it does slow down so I have time to go to lunch, ha,ha.

Has anyone tracked the value of the '03 - '06 cars? For example, I have a 2006 Viper Crystal Slate (I think that's what they call it.) What would that be worth w/ 7,000 miles? If it were worth anything, I'd sell it and buy a new '08.

Unfortunately the 2008s only hurt your value. Since the 2008s are out, the 2006s are dropping in price because many people are trading them in for the 2008s leading to more inventory on the lots. A 2006 with your mileage will probably be in the mid $60s for private party and mid to high $50s for trade in depending on where you go. The good thing going for you is your color is the rarest for the year and is not black or red which is a lot more common. For referenence, a local dealer here just sold one with 2,*** miles in your color for wholesale at $61,000 and there is one currently for sale in PA for $65,000 with just over 600 miles.

 

[adamlotus]

id buy an 08 now if i could sell my 06 vert at a descent amount

 

[2002_Viper_GTS_ACR]

Its called "Viper Slate Crystal Pearl Coat"

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

I would think you could get a green one for well under MSRP! I cant believe the new VCA member card for 08 that I just received has that on there.

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

John Snow (Chairman of the company that bought Dodge) in Switzerland just said that the sales are way off.

 

[MoparMan]

Exactly, and it's the best '06 color.

For Chrysler as a whole, or just our Vipers? That's an important distinction.

gouged, they are available at MSRP on ebay, maybe less.....

Just curious, isn't this convert at less than MSRP?

Sure looks like one!

 

[Hirohawa]

Said more flamboyant.. and also denoted some feel its Ricey... the point is.. its certainly different with its wheels, air scoops, Rotors/Calipers, hood, etc... I certainly didnt say I think they did a GOOD job in making it LOOK GOOD.. I think they did a smarter thing in making it STAND APPART from its other models... you wouldnt confuse it for a base vette anymore, much like you used to with the z06.

Jon

A good example of a visual upgrade to an existing model is the Ferarri 360 to F430. Basically the same car/platform with with not only more power, but major new body panels, headlights tailights - but it still uses hood, doors and hood from old 360 but definitely looks different/new.

 

[FikseGTS]

looks like it, that's way the get for ordering solid blue..... just isn't right without stripes....

They seem to be selling just fine, here in Florida. The dealer on Colonial Dr had 2 of them and they were both gone the next week. Last year, they had Vipers for a few months before they were sold.

Are they charging insaine premiums down there or really selling them for sticker? Last time I was in Miami (I Know, Rip Of Central) they wanted $115K or so for a Commerative Roadster!!

 

[Y2K10 SRT#39]

I guess I'm confused.
Did they not sell out the blue and SSG colors?
Wern't the people at CAAP on overtime to catch up with the order stream?

Perhaps I was just wishing those things, but I'm pretty sure I read that stuff on this board.

[black mamba1]

I just got my wife to approve TT my 04...now I am trying to get her to approve an order for an 08....I might need body armor for that conversation!

They were asking msrp.

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Guys, for God's sake....They are making around 1500 this year, of which 1200 to 1300 are sold already.
And please, please no more EBay pricing, it's meaningless and it ain't gonna be here much longer if it's a dealer and they are not a site supporter.

 

[black mamba1]

Anyone ever experienced that many people actually think Vipers cost around $150,000? I have had several people ask me if that is what they cost...where in the hell did they get that idea?
