Would you consider a Gen I Viper for €43.5K? Me neither. Not that it's overpriced, though. It's an E-spec from the last year (1 of 590 E-specs total, of Gen I and II combined) with just 5800 km on the clock. It's not exactly common to stumble upon a Viper in this shape.

(note the rear exhausts. IIRC, sidepipes on E-spec Vipers weren't functional, due to legal reasons).

Definitely not in the US, but I could see prices like this overseas.

That price seems to be about $20k more than what RT10s are going for here in the US. For that price you could get an SRT10, though I prefer the pre-SRT Vipers.

Expensive, but it's rare. And has no traction control.

Even this side it's a bit overpriced. There are GTSs for sale in Belgium for almost 10K less.

Seller's are probably banking it being a 1st gen for more money. In my opinion the 2nd gen is the best.

E-spec Gen IIs were only sold as coupés...with engines detuned to 383 PS (378 HP I think) due to EU sound pollution laws.

I love they way they look, and they're approaching $30-$35k USD over here with 450hp.

The difference is that it is in Europe. Kinda like the $80k going rate for a NA Land Rover Defender. The same car can be had for around $15k in the UK.

Yeah I know that is in Europe, so I can't exactly speak for their used Viper market, but that money here will get you into a 3rd or 4th gen.
