Discussion
I have made the decision to market mine with a decent dealer and i am going to be asking £50k, some would say its strong money and perhaps asking too much. I happen to disagree, i think these cars are worth it and we should not be selling them short of what they are. it may take a long while to sell but i'm confident it will find a buyer. vipers are a rare car for the UK roads, you may have choice over in the states but that's a long way away and a lot of costs and headache attached to importing your own. the reason for static prices may just be sellers are undervaluing their cars and dropping prices when trying to make quicker sales.
regardless i know what my viper is worth and i hope the rest of owners on here selling or thinking of selling don't sell the car too short. the Viper is the modern day Shelby cobra and look how much they sell for these days.

Coor, that will be rusted up solid then It's life
Mind you, Knowing how active the UK Viper owners are I think there will be many more rusted up Vipers 
I'm up to 74,000 miles in mine
I measure it in Smiles per Gallon LOTS 
You could eat your dinner off the underside of my car, it may have high mileage but I guarantee you its better kept than some cars out there
Trade might offer you £20k but that's so they have a buffer and I would expect them to market it at £40K. I was offered £30k trade on my gts but I know this is too low and I refused to part with it for such a weak offer. I understand they have margins and if I were on the other side of the table I would do the same.
Good thread, as a buyer the lack of resale is a concern. Maybe it shouldn't be if I really want the car, but as I've got older and change more frequently, it is a factor.
The lack of interior embellishments is not so much of a concern, but it would be a weighted factor and something I'd be more prepared to overlook if it contributed to a weight advantage, alas it appears it does not.
The main appealing factor is it's styling. Nothing comes close, I don't think there is any other car that looks quite like it, it stirs the soul. I will really know I want one when I drive one, it must be quite an event.
I would definitely be looking for a modded example. Better brakes, lowered (standard seems to ride very high), good tyres and extra power. These engines seem very low stressed so power should be relatively easy to come by and in this day and age a family hatchback can make 400hp in a lighter package. Around 600hp would be nice, though I'd like it to stay NA.
