What do you think?

A friend of mine is fixing to buy this...but something looks fishy...can he still get the warranty?

eBay Motors: Dodge : Viper (item 330196942225 end time Dec-17-07 12:31:38 PST)

it doesn't seem fishy. i know a couple dealers that kept a viper for the dealership and the managers drove it and they end up selling it sooner or later

 

[plumcrazy]

id be afraid of the zero feedback more than the car

 

[SSSSE YA]

looks pretty clean at a good price..

 

[vucker]

What causes the damage on the hood????

 

[CROM]

Run from the car. That car doesn't look clean. Scuffs, scratches, and wear. Looks like it was a dealers weekend warrior car. When you can get a 97+ RT/10 with similar miles for another 6 or 8 grand (roughly 50-100 a month more in a payment) why bother.

I'd keep looking. It's a good buyers market right now. That car isn't worth a lick over 30.

are there any techs in bangor maine that could look at it? why all the scratches on the roof and back of seat? car is very dirty. i would ask for close up pics of the nose and the wear on the tires. are the tires original? if so, budget for new tires right away. looks like dash has been repainted. stress cracks on gen I hoods are common, some worse than others.

this car does not appear to have been taken care of. proceed with caution IMO.

zero feedback also bothers me. make sure title is clean. car is priced as a possible salvage.

 

[big-n-italian]

maybe its the angle of the picture, but the nose medallion also looks slightly off center. nose may have been repainted, but bottom of nose looks badly scraped up.

A little scruffy, indicating lack of car IMHO

Dash does not look repainted , the seat back can be re-dyed, the scratches look like boxes were stored on the sport cap , I would call and talk to them , then get it checked out or fly up there .

 

[big-n-italian]

Dash does not look repainted.

really? it looks awfully smooth to me especially at the bottoms on either side of the radio. maybe its just the lighting. i just looked at '95 dashes in the registry and you may be right.

Go get an 01 or 02.Well taken car of with a couple of chips or the legacy of being driven on the street is one thing.If that is the BEST pics of a prepped car for sale then god only knows what happend to it or was done to it.Nose looks f'ed up.Paint f'ed up interior f'ed up.How well taken car of were the mechanicals?If you're a do it yourself guy and prepared to do a full resto paying much less for the car then go for it.

The mirror is a different color... seems fishy.

 

[CROM]

Sorry, that car looks like a piece. Call it Viper blasphemy but I wouldn't spend a dime over 28k for that when you can get much better examples for not a lot more.

 

[xlrashn]

I paid 31K for my 95 this year with less miles , same color, and NO BLEMISHES whatsoever. The car is absolutely flawless. Your friend can do MUCH MUCH better , keep looking!

 

[got one]

He was looking at it from the standpoint of having a warranty, but then again...who would warranty a car with 20k on it already?

 

[ViperJay]

i paid 30k for mine with 06 rims and original rims. 15k miles. car is mint except for the paint cracks on the hood and some minor scratches around the window inserts. that car on ebay should sell for 23-26k at most.

 

[ViperJay]

ps. tons of vipers are coming onto the market. tell him to hold off a few months and he will get a 97 for 33k.
