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

[redtanrt10]

Anyone else notice that the MSRP for that special silver paint was $14K!!!

 

[bmw2nv2000]

WOW!!! Id come closer to paying $14k to not have the silver paint, and my first viper was silver. Liked it but not $14k worth.

Holy S! I still want to know the story behind this car. Special paint for $14K - for silver?? Which looks to be the same silver used since 2003? That window sticker was not shown in the eBay ad. Still, I guess for the Uber Collector, this car is worth something.

On cars.com now, like all their other cars:

I'm guessing it was a pilot car to test the silver that ended up on the VOI
10 cars.

The car was initially sold to Storms Motors INC out of South Hampton NY.

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!!!

Agreed. They are looking more and more fishy every day.

Now they have it back on eBay. I really detest when a car on eBay goes immediately back on for a higher price.

I have been looking for a new car for the last 3 to 4 months and since that time I have seen 4 or 5 cars that were bought by dealers then immediately re-listed. You need to do your homework these days when buying over the Internet. I don't blame them, but I was interested in a couple of them cause I thought they were good deals, just not quick enough.

Yes, I have been doing the same thing for 4 months. Watching cars just get passed around and attempted to be resold at a higher price. I am pretty much avoiding any car from one of those dealers since you immediately have to wonder if you are paying too much. I can see on Autotrader, the same car listed twice, once by the owner, and also by a dealer that he trying to go through. You can buy it from the owner for $50,000, or the dealer for $57,000. Duh.

Just another example... this car sold on eBay 2 weeks ago for $55,800. It is now at Chicago Motors for $66,995 - check the VIN. I am never buying from a dealer. Well one of THESE dealers. They know who they are.

Graphite ACR: eBay $81K to Autotrader $99K, again, CHICAGO MOTORS.

Between Exotic Motors and Chicago Motors, they have just about bought every car on eBay.

The SRT Engineers on another section of this forum uncovered the story of this 1 of 1 car's existence:

"At that dark time during the Cerberus ownership, a Board Member wanted a new 2008 Viper and he wanted it in silver, which was not available. Being a Board Member (and an acquaintance of Nardeli) has its perks so he was able to order a special paint code as long as he was willing to pay for the added expense and handling. That's about all there is to it, surprised he sold it already!"


It was sold by Exotic Motors to someone, but I have not seen it turn up on this board. Anyone here buy it?

 

[redtanrt10]

Interesting story, thanks!

If he is he probably doesn't want to admit it! Now knowing he payed an extra 10k for it from Exotic Motors & that its been in some kind of a fender bender too! jmo

Good info guys, especially on what dealers to watch out for.

I'm starting to look at Gen 4's since there is no pricing on Gen 5's
