Is this a deal on a GTS?

[sbarbier]

I was just curious what kind of parts I could find on craigslist and came across this. Sounds like a good deal for someone looking. Kinda depressing thinking what my RT/10 may be worth. I'm not sure the condition of the car but looks like a fairly large gap in the hood, but fixable.

1997 DODGE VIPER GTS

Maybe a little too good of a deal. IF the car checked out it would be a DEAL!!

An rt10 is worth less than a b/w...

Seems cheap even to ME.

The hood doesn't look like it's closed completely. That's not the actual gap.

I didn't see a price. It does look really clean and matches the low mileage. Wonder what the engine looks like.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it probably has a salvage title. That's just too low for a 7,000 mile car with a clean title...

 

[sbarbier]

Probably right about the salvage, the add doesn't mention anything about a clean carfax or no damage history.

There was another thread on this very same car a couple of weeks ago. Car was in some kind of accident.

Be very careful of scam's. I enquired about a brand new (used) Ford F250 at a dealer in Massachusetts. It was a beauti with about 20 pic's. I called the Town supervisor to see if their was this dealer in their town and they never heard of the dealership. I was suspicious because I found three other instances like this with boats. They were all on Valid internet sites.
One women said she was trying to make the sale because her husband died recently? Some people will go to know ends to take your money.

times like we have now will make this type of BS more likely

 

[tim721]

yep I called about this car a few weeks back, it was wrecked

If the guy would sell for $22k, it would be a pretty good deal, even with the salvage.

If there's no frame damage one could probably live with the panel gaps (they might be tightened a bit with some fiddling) but only at 23-24K. A slightly "off" Viper is a way more fun DD than a new Camry!
