Guys,
I'm new here, lurked for a couple of months, spring fever is full throttle, & I'm thinking of switching teams if ya know what I mean. I have a line on a salvage titled 99 RT 10 out of KY; supposed to receive pics this week & maybe go get a bird's eye of the beast this weekend. Asking $31k, and says it can be up to ***** with $6k (front quarter & polish hairline crack in the hood). I don't necessarily need to go cheap, but was thinking that since this was the body style & color I wanted, why not? Prolly keep the thing forever anyway, so resale is not an issue. It is supposed to have exceptionally low miles.
Question is concerning price and reasonable haggle range from someone familiar with the nitty gritty. He says the hood REALLY does not need to be replaced. He already has a quarter panel lined up. I intened to independently verify engine & drivetrain condition, so all I'm really concerned about is the body damage.
If I don't get this one and decide to go for regulation Snake, I plan to take my time looking this summer & buy in the winter. That should give me plenty o time to get up to speed on the nuances of buying a used Viper, but I'm wondering if I got a deal on the line here with a fixer upper.
I know I'm short on deatails, but gut reaction?
Thanks Guys
