Viper is #2...

[Y2K5SRT]

And that is not a bad thing at all for this particular list...

...not bad at all, and I have to say, the mini cooper is a pretty solid car.

 

[Asp Man]

That's based on 15,000miles/yr, too. Most V's see a fraction of that. One may conclude from this that the value would likely be higher as most Vipers would have about half that mileage or less.

That's cool!





2005 Silver SRT/10
2000 Steel Gray GTS (sold)

What time frame is that depreciation spread over? 36 months? Regardless that is definitely a good thing

 

[Pythonpete]

5 years.

As the owner of a car rental company depreciation is my life. I ran New Beetles for years and than replaced them with the coopers when they came out. On some occasions I sold the cars for more money than I paid almost 10 months later. However I do not feel the 06's retain their value as those cars have in the past.
Nonetheless, its nice to see the viper #2. Anyone want to buy my low mileage 03 for 72g?

Actually, it seems a little low: If your 2003 sold new for $75K, then in 2008 it would be worth only $39,375.00 at 52.5% My guess is that in 2008 you will still be lucky to find one even in the high $40's - unless it really does have 75,000 miles. And even in that case it is still very unlikely to be in the $30's. Let's face it, very few Vipers with a non-salvage title have ever sold for less than 52% of their original value no matter what year they are.

I'm sorry but I just have to ask...can you read?

 

[PatentLaw]

Agreed with Y2K5SRT. The numbers are significantly lower. But, it is 15k miles per year for five years.

Agreed. Vipers no matter how fast or slow they drop, they never seem to go for lower than 1/2 of the original price. Acutally I do not recall ever seeing this ever happen unless is was a salvaged car of course.

I sold my 95 for $10,000 less then I paid for it. I drove it for 9 years!
