Congratulations!


So what’s a good price for a 2013/14 GTS with let’s say 30-40k miles?

It's really hard to judge as you see prices all over the map for vipers. I see higher mileage gts listed for 72-90k in that range but I don't know what they sold for.
I would think you could get a higher mileage one in the mid to upper 60's, just be patient. Talking with some viper buddies the best vipers seems to get sold privately like art so to speak. I just got lucky and was able to find out the history of my particular car as one of the VOA members knew the previous owner.

Care to share how many miles and how much that thing cost you?

7150 when I picked her up, I just hit 8350 this morning on the way to work :) ...and mid 70's.

Mid 70s is a hell of a deal on a Gen 5 IMO. That is a lot of car for the money!

I felt it was a great price for a low mileage gts, especially from a dealer!


Just picked the car up from ppf and ceramic, so happy with the job they did. Really curious to see how the ceramic coat helps with washing and how well it holds up.

Congrats! I desperately want a Gen V but just bought a house so it’s bumped back another year or two.

Congrats! I always liked Vipers. Believe it or not there were a few Vipers in South Africa back in the mid to late 90s when it was just a few years old. I remember seeing a white one with blue stripes in the Sandton City area. The car was really expensive to own back then and I could only dream of one.

It would be awesome to drive around Cape Town with my Cobra I am sure people would stop and stare when they heard it. If only it was easy to get it there to go for a joy ride - maybe with Paul Allen's yacht?!

What's with the 4x4 look ?

stock ride height is for offroading obviously! It will be lowered soon,( have IPSCO lowering caps in the garage) just holding off for a little bit as I'm about to drive the car across country in a few weeks when I move.

I've spent a good amount of time driving my buddies GenV. My only complaint is the heat, gets warm in the cabin even running the AC on full. That said I absolutely love the car! Yours looks fantastic.

The ac systems seem to be all over the place in quality with the viper, sounds like dodge. Mine fortunately has been ice cold so far in Texas heat but my buddies gen v doesnt seem to cool nearly as well.

The AC system is probably negated by the fact that the exhaust is right next to you. To alleviate the heat, just remove the secondary cats (any exhaust welding shop can cut out the exhaust and weld in a straight pipe). Heat reduced by something like 40%-50%!!!
This was like my very first mod, secondary cat delete and ARH mufflers installed.
