Too bad this doesn't include the Gen V's. Including the skyrocketing ACRE

Guess what? My Viper still started today, and brought a smile to my face.

a 2004 Mamba just sold for $115K with 10K miles, don't think they are falling.

Hagerty has been on this nonsense for a couple quarters now. Prices have been bracketed between $55k and $65k for two years now. Nothing crazy going on either way with pricing.

Can't put a price on this car being a bigger flex than other cars that sell at several multiples.
Can't put a price on the smile it puts on people's faces.
Can't put a price on the car's history and symbolism of how it resurrected a dying Chrysler in the late '80's.
Can't put a price on whooping every Corvette, Porsche, and Ferrari in its class in GT racing.
Can't, can't, can't, can't put a price on the glorious sound it makes.
Can't put a price on how it makes you feel alive.

If you think Viper prices are falling, you should see taco trucks.

I originally posted this (OP) from Hagerty and thought the same as y'all. Prices seem stable or maybe rising. Check this out: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2...email&utm_campaign=Watcher_Listing_Ended_Sold

One car a trend does not make. For all you know the buyer
was drunk, or proving a point, or buying his dads old car.
When EVERY Mamba pulls in $115k, then you can make
the argument values are increasing...

 

[Bill W]

Not really making the argument that values are increasing. I said stable or maybe rising. I realize this was a collector's car with less than 1000 miles, and not representative of any trend. Six different individuals bid over $100,000 for the car. I doubt they were all drunk.

 

[Copperhd]

Coincidentally, I had both tacos and beer to celebrate the purchase of my 2005 Copperhead Edition w/15K miles.

I buy stocks in speculation.
Cars are for enjoyment.
Houses are for living in.

Only stocks and other speculation items are interesting with price increases.

But I'm a bit saddened I didn't take the plunge on another gen 2 GTS when I had the chance, yellow & black stripes. Was pretty cheap and it would've made a nice ride for my wife.

Of course they're falling, if you're in your late thirties today there is a high probability that you've never driven a manual car. You are looking to see if you can get in your car and say "Starbucks" and have the car drive you there, where you will then get out of your car, close your door and walk into Starbucks as your car self parks itself. Besides, even having a third pedal is most likely a grave danger for these very same people. They also know something that many of the older crew don't. By 2032, insurance companies, recognizing that auto-driven cars are already 600% safer in regard to accidents to humans driving, aren't going to be selling insurance for clutches. Roads themselves will only allow self-driving cars into cities and everything will be rainbows and unicorns.
