Market Update: Delivery Mileage 2003 Viper SRT-10 Roadster
If you want to land a super low mileage 2nd gen Viper, prepare to slap down six figures.
One of our favorite things to do at Dodge Forum is to speculate. We had a grand ole time years ago trying to figure out what else would be Hellcat-powered. And these days, we get to speculate on the price of classics.
Trigger warning: we’re calling this 2003 Dodge Viper SRT10 a classic because well… it is. In Wisconsin, you can get a special plate for a car this old. 21 years old, in fact. And this Bring-A-Trailer find gives us a glimpse into what folks think a car like this is worth these days, two decades later.
According to BAT, low mileage Dodge Viper SRT-10 examples (only a few thousand miles) tend to fetch mid to upper $60,000, with special editions adding a few grand on top of that. This car has only 30 miles though, so that throws all prior data out the window. That’s for the ZB-I.
This particular example is worth… well we don’t know. It was bid to $80,000 which is certainly on the upper end of SRT10’s that aren’t special editions. It didn’t hit reserve, so the seller believes it is worth far more than than price. Maybe $100,000?
It is worth mentioning again that this one is a bit unique. With under 100 miles, another example like this simply won’t exist. There are plenty that have under 4000 miles which is essentially new, but 30 miles is brand new.
Over the past few years, the overall value of the Viper has gently ticked upward. You wouldn’t be making money as a flipper, but it is steadily appreciating in value. In 2021, averages landed in the upper $50,000 range, and at present, lower $60,000s is the norm. So $80,000 is an anomaly, but so is the car itself.
Unused cars present a unique proposition. You can own a car that you can’t drive. Quite literally, only preservation is an option here. Anything else would take away from its uniqueness.
But no matter what, the 2nd generation Viper will increase in value, especially as the automotive industry shifts away from cars like these. There’s no doubt big-engined manual transmission cars will continue to appreciate. As they say, “they don’t build them like they used to.”
