    Help with price on FE 2006 Coupe - private sale

    This is an old friend of mine that contacted me about the car so I will not be insulting anyone or trying to low ball the price. He is trying to help one of his clients by brokering a deal for the car. Nothing more nothing less. I was just fortunate enough that he called me and gave me the...

    Help with price on FE 2006 Coupe - private sale

    I am hoping everything checks out tomorrow night and there is no surprises. Who knows, maybe the price will come down a little more. I have never driven a coupe only a vert. Looking forward to trying the coupe and seeing if there are any differences.

    Help with price on FE 2006 Coupe - private sale

    BlueSnake: Thanks for the input. I made a call and I will be going to see the car tomorrow evening. Good tip on the cover, I was not aware that it came with the vehicle. Anything else I should look for/ask about ? This is my first trip down Viper lane and I can use all the help I can get....

    Help with price on FE 2006 Coupe - private sale

    ****** in Eastern PA - Coupe question

    Thank you for the posts. WILDASP: I was assuming that the coupe would be a little quieter inside the cabin and a little more solid ride due to more rigidity with the fixed roof/coupe. I drove an 05 Copperhead and it seemed to have a little less head room with the roof up compared to the...

    ****** in Eastern PA - Coupe question

    I did measure and the viper is about 1.5 inches lower on the bumper but two inches higher than the lower plastic shroud on my old Z. Problem is the Viper will have a different angle of approach as its wheels are set closer to the front bumper/spoiler than my old Z whose wheels were further back...
