Viper Owner
I've been lurking and reading for a while, but I am starting to get pretty serious about buying a viper.
I will be looking at a 2002 Charcoal GTS tomorrow and wanted to get some opinions. It is relatively high mileage for an 02 (36,000 miles!!!), so that could mean a few things. It could mean it was used as a daily driver for long highway commutes that were very gentle on the engine, or it could mean that the original owner did endurance races. I don't know.
Here is the internet add, as I said I will be looking at it this weekend (if I can finish my chores and my wife lets me out of the house).

If it looks good, should I at least do a leakdown test? What would a good price be? Are the prices on ebay representative of the viper community?
I haven't driven one yet, but have been really looking forward to it. Right now I have a 2004 nissan 350Z roadster with a stillen positive displacement blower. I am looking for more performance and something that will stand out a little more. There are just too many Z's out there.
Thanks
