Dodge Viper Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Dodge Viper was built from the early 1990s until the 2017 model year, with a V10 engine and a manual transmission through its run. A single "Viper price" is hard to pin down because the car covers more than two decades, several trims, and a group of track-focused ACR versions that are priced as their own cars.

This guide separates the sticker price new, which is a matter of record, from what individual cars have sold for recently. Each sale is shown with its date and details so you can judge how closely it matches the car you have in mind.

Original MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price. It leaves out dealer add-ons, taxes, and any markup a dealer asked for. The rows below cover the first cars, a track-focused ACR, and the last model year.

The first-generation Viper RT/10 was priced at $50,700 for the 1992 to 1996 cars, according to Petrolicious. The 2016 Viper ACR was priced at $117,895, per duPont REGISTRY. The base 2017 car, the last model year, was listed at $92,990 by Carscoops, and that figure includes the gas-guzzler tax and destination. Because those two items are already in the 2017 number, do not compare it directly with a price that leaves them out.

Used Vipers are sold through online auctions and collector events. The results below are individual sales, not averages. Each depends on mileage, edition, condition, and where the car sold.

Standard cars

• A 1999 Viper RT/10 sold on Bring a Trailer on September 26, 2026 for $40,000.
• A 2013 SRT Viper GTS with 1,900 miles sold on October 7, 2026 for $169,000.

These two cars show how much the age and series of a Viper changes the number. The first-generation style RT/10 sits at the low end of the results, and the later SRT car with very low mileage sold for several times as much.

ACR and special-edition cars

• A 2017 Viper GTC ACR-Extreme with 44 miles sold at duPont REGISTRY Live in April 2026 for $532,999, which The Drive reported as an auction record.
• A 2017 Viper Snakeskin ACR Extreme with 1,100 miles sold on Bring a Trailer on September 29, 2026 for $571,000.

The ACR-Extreme and Snakeskin cars are limited, final-year specials. They should be compared with each other and not with a standard car. Their prices say very little about what an ordinary 2017 Viper, a base car listed at $92,990 when new, sells for.

• Generation and year. Early RT/10 cars, the SRT cars, and the final 2017 cars are separate segments of the market.
• Trim and edition. ACR, GTS, GTC, and named final-year specials carry different prices from a base car.
• Mileage. A car with a few dozen or a few hundred miles is in a different class from one that has been driven regularly.
• Condition and history. Track use, accident history, and gaps in the service record can lower what a buyer will pay.
• Originality. Unmodified cars with original parts and documentation are easier to compare.
• Sale venue. Auction fees are added to the final bid, and a car at a major collector event may reach a different audience from an online listing.

A Viper is a high-output V10 car, and it deserves a careful look before you buy. Ask whether the seller can document the car's history from new, and compare the VIN against the paperwork. Start with a vehicle history report to find accidents, title problems, and odometer inconsistencies. Ask for service records and for any evidence of track use. An independent mechanic who knows the Viper should perform a pre-purchase inspection, including a look at the frame, tires, brakes, and clutch.

Insurance is worth pricing before you commit. Premiums for high-performance cars can be well above those for ordinary vehicles, and quotes vary by driver, age, and location. Ask your insurer about the specific VIN. Tires and brakes on a car like this wear with hard driving, so get an estimate of what they cost to replace.
