Lets see.
Florida car. Red Flag
e-bay. Red Flag
Sold "AS IS". Red Flag
50k miles. Could be OK
Low price. Red Flag
Goofy wheels. Red Flag
Amature stereo head unit and speakers. Red Flag.
Non standard tires. Red Flag
Non standard exhaust. Normal
Tired but appropriate interior. Normal
Looks new in rear tire wheel well. Red Flag.
Price is very tempting. Very cheap for a clean, Blue/White.
Would require very close inspection. Either a deal or a disaster.
After the recent Florida weather I would need a close physical inspection.
Definitely not a simple e-bay purchase.

No fog light covers in front facia... correct year? The interior seems extra thrashed (what happened to the door panel?) You should be able to find better for your budget.
Good luck!

Its had paint work !!
One of the photos shows some extra paint in the WHEEL well, where it shouldnt be, see if you can find it ;-)
Also some of the lines dont look right, and where it goes from blue to black, there should be NO WHITE in the door sill.. shes has shed some skin in her day, but at what price, structural damage ??

Isn't there a few screws missing in this photo? Bottom left.
Why do some people think a FL car is "Bad"? I've bought my last 2 cars from FL and they've turned out to be very good buys(well, so far they have
) Is it because of the hurricanes/flooding, or another reason?

For mid $40's you can find a really good car. Contact your local club members/board members and they can find you a member's car. This is what I did and found a spotless '99 GTS with 21K miles, many nice mods, and most important... no surprises. All for $42K. Keep looking.

I just phoned the dealer of this vehicle. They fed me the typical salesman BS. I asked if it was a repaint and their response was I don't think so. Come on they now exactly what they got. I told them to check and call me back. I will post their answer.

Salesman just called me back as states he is no expert but it appears to be a repaint in different areas. He also states they want 39,000. I would stay away from this one. You wont regret it. Just my opinion.

Derek,
I went by the dealer and checked the Viper out.
1. It looks like it has has $500 paint job with runs, dirt orange peel all over.
2. When I opened the drivers door it was actually sitting on the sill and rubbing as you opened it.
3. Interior was abused and door panel actually came off when I opened the door thats when the saleman down played it and had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to hear it. I told him no thanks and left. It was a shame what that car looked like. I wouldn't want that car for any price. Good luck in your search

Way too much money for a car with that many miles!
