    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    I still haven't heard back from the guy to make absolute sure it's a salvage title. I thought I remembered him saying it on the phone, but not 100%, I just remember that somehow that concept got into my head. If it's not a salvage title, and I know it's not clean, there is a "rebuilt" title...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Also, as one poster pointed out...the car has OEM front tires. Can that be seen as a good thing, in that whatever damage this car took on it wasn't bad enough to damage the front wheels and tires? I am just guessing it was front end damage, every friggin' wrecked Viper I see has a mashed up...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Definitely NOT buying to resell. The only time I'd sell is if I came upon hard times, and even then I'd be happy to just sell it for the remaining balance on loan (within reason). I don't expect to sell it for more than I pay, I would say that I expect that it can be sold for 13-14k without...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Will try my best to get him lower and lower. We'll see. If I can hold off til the spring and it's still available, I can put a hefty down payment on it. As it stands, I can put about 4k down on it now. Also, I am going to call my insurance lady and see about insuring a salvage title car...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    At least with the 3000, when the transfer case grenades, one can be had for $150 and installed in 15 minutes. Got that one down to a science.

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Right, money isn't a huuuuge issue, otherwise I'd listen to my dad and get a Corolla. For the money I've put into my 3000 I could already be in a Viper, but hey. I like my 3000, nothing like a 450 crank horsepower car you can drive in the rain and snow, leaking oil all over, and raising hell...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Understandable. You guys know your stuff, just trying to decide if this is for me. If I don't get this, I'll be living debt free for a while and have the money to really make my VR-4 something special. Would you guys advise me to save a couple thousand over the winter and put a 7-8k down...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Well aware of the wonders of photography, I always suspect that someone is hiding something, no matter the venue. This guy texted me yesterday to tell me the oil was changed the other day and the rear tires were replaced while car was in his possession. He says less than 100 miles on the...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Lisbon. Been talking with the guy back and forth, might be able to take it away for 16k. Again, I know well the saying about too good to be true. But, at this price, and considering the pictures of it, it looks decent. I know it can also be very easy to take good looking pics and still hide...

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    VERY good point. I do not know if a salvage title car can be financed. Dealer may finance, but I'll really only deal with my bank, so that is something I will check. I can probably do most of the work myself (I really do not want that to sound know-it-all-ish, but I am mechanically...

    Forgot, mileage is 35k. I do realize the mileage could, and probably does, mean jack-crap when you consider it's a salvage title.

    Need advice on salvage title 95 Viper

    Just a brief preface, I am somewhat mechanically inclined. I have swapped a new motor, trans, transfercase, injectors, exhaust, front mount intercooler and turbochargers into my 3000GT VR-4. I also installed Apex'i turbo timer, boost controller and fuel/air piggyback controller and Innovate...

    Potential Viper owner....

    Well I don't want to take out a huge loan. $25k would be my absolute spending limit. Or are you saying a 2gen would be less than 25k? I dont follow.

    Potential Viper owner....

    I am in northern Illinois. It'd probably be a 6 month car here. v10 > v6, but remember the vr4 is a twin-turbo, allwheel drive, all wheel steering, electronic suspension....gah I'll stop. I don't have any delusions that my 3000 is better than a Viper, but it's a great car.

    Potential Viper owner....

    Out of curiousity, has anyone had a good experience buying a Viper on cars.com or autotrader.com? I had always envisioned any used sports cars posted on that site as ones that have been driven hard and put away wet. There are a few 94/95's on there right now hovering around 20k with decent...

    Potential Viper owner....

    I cut my teeth on a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4. I installed a new motor, trans, transfercase, alcohol injection, tons of apex'i electronics, injectors, turbo's, exhaust, tuned myself... Not trying to brag, just saying I'd be somewhere near comfortable trying to fix a Viper when I break it...
