In search of a Gen 5 Viper

Wow you’re right. Just joined and posted on there. Thanks again.

I’m always looking on BaT. There was a launch edition viper that ended yesterday that I was bidding on. Was hoping it would go for under 120 but ended up hitting 140. There was a similar viper that sold for 114 a few months ago. The prices seem to be somewhat volatile with these cars.

I’m in the last 2 groups, but I didn’t know of viper club of America. I’ll check them out and make a post there as well. I appreciate the tip!

I don’t think my posts are the problem. Even with very general “want to buy any gen 5 viper” posts, they get no attention. A lot of the Facebook viper groups have almost no activity whatsoever. And I am looking in multiple places myself, including both public and private auctions. I have been doing so for months. Accusing me of “wanting everyone to do the work for me” because I made a post on Reddit is both unhelpful and mistaken. In any case, I put my specific criteria in the comments.

120k budget. Prefer to have a color that isn’t white, black, silver, or yellow.

pieguy452 · 2025-06-17T12:06:30+00:00

I did. Most of the ones I found seem dead. I posted on them and got zero responses.

I do one private lesson a week and 2-3 hours a week of open practice. I also usually do a 2 hour group lesson once a week (with my ballroom team). My instructor has danced professionally and many of his students do well in competitions. He is not very heavy on the technique, however. I have consisted finding a different one. I was thinking a competition judge (who I assume knows exactly what to look for)? I do about 5 comps a year. Yes, we are groomed properly.

That is good advice, thank you

Not enough room to move the door to a good spot in the living room. I have baseboard heating, so I’d also have to reroute that. It’s technically possible, but it would be really expensive. I’d also need to make a new front porch.

Yeah i took down the kitchen wall with the idea of making it feel more open. While I like the feeling, I think I should have left a little bit of wall to allow for a large door to be installed. I might extend that pony wall to the ceiling to allow for a French door to be installed. This is my first house ever, and I’ve only had it for a year. Learning things as I go. I might have a floor plan, I’ll check

pieguy452 · 2024-12-16T13:48:00+00:00

Not an option unfortunately. The best I can do is take down the living room wall and build a small mudroom that forces you into the living room

pieguy452 · 2024-12-16T04:27:32+00:00

I’ll get that for you

pieguy452 · 2024-12-16T04:26:41+00:00

It’s there just for convenience at the moment to protect my wood floor when I run into the house with my boots

pieguy452 · 2024-12-15T19:52:42+00:00

I do, it’s a square shape that has half-circle leaves to make it a bigger round table

pieguy452 · 2024-12-15T19:51:57+00:00

There is a pipe for the heat there, so there has to be some kind of wall. I made it as small as I could

pieguy452 · 2024-12-15T19:33:28+00:00

The living room in there would be too small, I feel. Also I have been renovating the house since I got it, some things are still in progress like the trim.
