I found an 06 vert black in prestine condition with only 620 miles from the original owner, few mods 6 spoke wheels, 09 exhaust, green filters. What do you think it's worth ?

Thats crazy. What do you plan to use the car for? A might be a little apprehensive to buy a five year old car with that low mileage. Who knows what could start breaking from it getting driven.

Agree with Bob. I put 620 miles on my car just over the last month! A car that has essentially sat for 5 years, seals, bearings, etc. Before it is driven or started, I would have to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic. If it check out, then go for it!

The car didn't just sit for 5 yrs, started every 2 weeks & driven monthly (short runs), oil changed every year. I know the owner.

That's different then, you know the owner, and know that it's been cared for. As for price, it is tough. Low 50s is pretty close to Gen IV territory.

With that low mileage, I think 53k is fair to everyone. He may expect more since he never enjoyed the car at all!

Like others have said, Gen IV prices aren't too far from that, and will ultimately dictate Gen III prices.

Low 50s? No way. $48K tops. You are going to spend big money getting the card inspected and every single fluid changed out, not to mention tires will be needed as well unless he had those sitting on some deep carpet.

So you want the value of Vipers to go down....why? A 600 mile 2006 SRT.....$48K....... would be a great price, but between $50K and $55K would be about right.

There is a a difference between what I "want," and reality. The cheaper they get, the more I will own. :p

A car sitting that long unless it was incredibly well cared for is a liability.

No way you buy that car for 48k. I just picked up a 800 mile 04 for 47k. I thought that was a decent deal, I didn't mind paying a little more for a low mileage car. Fluids are pretty easy to change. Not that big a deal. Definitely worth 50ties. Good luck

Mileage is crazy! About 100 per year or less. If he drove it monthly, that is what 8-10 miles? Gen IV prices will determine this value: e.g., Gen IV minus 30% or so.
