Saying goodbye to Viper?

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/28/d...ranchise-will/

Quote:
According to court documents filed by Chrysler, there is but one lone official offer for the firm's Dodge Viper automotive business, and it is well under the $10 million asking price that the bankrupt automaker has been seeking. If a suitable buyer isn't found, it's likely that the Connor Avenue Assembly plant where the Viper is manufactured will be closed down this December.

How can the Viper brand be worth just $10 million? Seems like such a small amount.

They made a decent run. Bye bye viper (IMO the first few model years looked the best)

Problem is there are very few sold per year, not enough to make 10mil, the factory etc is worth the money, but 10 mil profit is hard to do.

I think dodge needs to hold the vipers in the condition they are in.
