Is this the 2008 Silver Roadster, 1 made? Sold on eBay

[ohlarikd]

I had noticed a while ago that there was only 1 silver roadster made in 2008, labeled 'special'. I really don't know the story behind this car. Well, it went on eBay on Saturday night, and was sold in less than a half hour. So I guess someone knew what it was.

The paint code is P99, not the usual PA9 for bright silver. I looked up the VIN, it is indeed a 2008, not a fake.

So what is the details on this car's existence? Couldn't find any info using search.

Yeah I saw that to and realized it must be rare. The 08 production chart says only one made so Im betting that was it.

Yes I am a little annoyed, since the car is an hour or two away from me. It literally disappeared so fast that only 17 people saw it on the eBay counter. Normally its thousands.

Maybe a site supporting vendor snatched it up. I would of loved to have ordered one of those.

I believe that car was in an accident.

I believe that car was in an accident.

Possibly, there is no accident report on Autocheck, but I wouldn't report it either. Just fix it yourself. Front end was repainted they say. However, given the 1 of 1 Silver color, I would let that go since there are no other ones to choose from.

Is it possible to post the link to the ad on E-bay. thanks.

Sent you a PM. I didn't post it cause someone may have bought it here, and I feel like I am in their business. But just use 'completed listings'... easy to find....

 

[viper04]

Thanks I understand.

 

[shooter_t1]

So how can you tell the difference?. Apart from looking up the paint code. It looks just like every other silver vert out there.

 

[ohlarikd]

Here is the lone Silver Roadster in the production chart.... you can see how rare it is.

They made 5 all silver roadsters in 2010 and not sure how many in 2009.
As Shooter said they all look alike so I wouldn't see paying any premium for it?

The only charts I found for 2009 and 2010 was here: http://www.theviperstore.com/Information_Viper_Production_Stats.htm

It has 0 Silver Roadsters in 2009. It says there are zero 2010 convertibles made of any color?? That I am not sure about. Is there a better chart for 2010?

I have 1 of 13?

I'd love to see a better quality image of that.

Well... 1 of 15? But 2 are ARY cars, but I have never understood what ARY means?

 

[PDCjonny]

There were no silver roadsters in 2009 and 5 made in 2010 according to the VCA magazine and other online sources.

ARY means aero cars

Yes...

That seems pretty cheap, no?

I was not aware they made any Bright Silver roadsters in 2010. Gotta find that 2010 figures somewhere.... But if there were 5, then yes, whatever value there was in the unique P99 color becomes a little suspect.

 

[ohlarikd]

As I figured... it is being resold by an independent dealer on Autotrader, for $10,000 more.

Whoever was selling that car for that cheap must have really needed the money or wanted a fast sale for some reason. Surely it is worth more than it brought on eBay.

Well, as FastMD stated, this car had some damage, as stated on eBay: "car has had previous paintwork on hood, front bumper and fenders"

New seller is not mentioning that because there is no accident report. I thought $59,995 was a good price considering the damage, then offset with the low miles. However, for $69,900, not so sure. But as always, there is no 'right price' on cars like this.

Exotic motors also bought the 08 orange ACR on ebay that had the previous damage history and was hiding it at first then when called on it the ebay seller started listing it as previous repair and of course it wouldnt sell after that. So exotic motors bought that one for $62k and now listing it for $79k and of course they dont mention the previous damage!!!!! Exotic Motors know these cars have a damaged history but plainly do not list that info even though they used that fact as a way to get them cheap. I would NEVER buy a car from Exotic Motors!!!
