buying a car sight unseen depends on the circumstances.
The fist time i laid my eyes on mine was when it was delivered, but i did have someone i trusted check the car out, and the fact that it had 400 miles on it helped. So far so good.
Good luck
a few years ago a friend finally convinced me to go to a psychic with her. THe psychic knew all about my hobbies, cars, business i was in etc.etc.
Of course i knew where she had gotten her info from, so i played along as if i was very impressed. Well when it came time to pay her i replied "Being...
There is another option when it comes to buying high priced cars.
For those of us that own homes, an equity loan.
There are some disadvantages, but there are many advantages.
You can choose a longer payback period (=lower monthly payment),
and you get to deduct the interest paid on your tax...
Some people that own vipers, also own other cars. The viper is not usually the daily driver. I have a 96gts with 1100 miles. In march it had 400. I usually use it on the weekends when time allows. With the winter coming it will not get much use.
So it is possible to find low, low mileage Vipers...
Hey I like vettes too. I've owned almost a dozen of them and still have an *** kicking one. You can do whatever you want to a vette, but it's still going to look like a vette. That's why i bought the Viper. The Diablo is going to be my next adventure.
Peace.
My wipers were colliding and doing weird things. One would go up and down twice, the other would wait then go once.
Turned out to be one of the motors was not sensing the opposite wipers position, so it had to be replaced. The car was doing this from the day i got it and it had only had 410...
I still have my 90 ZR1. If the zr1 was stock i would have ditched it a long time ago. It runs like a bat out of hell and since it has some suspension work it handles pretty good.
At this point i still feel more comfortable in the vette than the viper when it comes to spirited driving. But...
Wehre can someone take a lady out to dinner to a classy restaurant in the NYC area and get to self valet park and lock the car {keeping it in sight would be nice).
Thanks
Since most of us shelled out big bucks to acquire the vipers we drive i'll add my 2 cents.
The best wax i have ever tried and am still using is Zymol Concours. It is very expensive ($150 for 8 oz). There is so much Carnauba (47%) that it has to be applied by hand-the body heat is needed to...
Laura,
I was bitten without even driving one, so i can imagine what your brother must be feeling.
If he starts cleaning out the garage, you know what comes next.
Ok,
here goes. I probably have the most boring profession on this board. I am a Certified Public Accountant, and a partner in a CPA firm. It is ironic because i have been a body builder on and off since 19 and really would love to own a few health clubs. About it, anyone out there selling...
Hi ACR Joe,
Carmen and Denny are friends of mine and so is Phil. I knew Larry when he ran the registry but i have not seen him in years.
I guess i wasn't that clear in my original post, but i lost to my own ZR1. I let my friend drive it while i was in the viper.
My zr1 was modified by Kim Baker...
What's worse than being spanked by someone in another car?
Being spanked by your friend in your other car (see below).
Actually it went like this. We take off from a roll and he pulls away from me about a car, when he shifts (he's not the best driver)to second we're pretty much even, when he...
I have used K&N in the Z since day one. No problem whatsoever. In the past few years I started replacing them after a couple of cleanings. Not necessary, i just hate cleaning them.
Sometimes I take my other car out because I am not in the mood for any attention. Actually I feel like that most of the time. I do love the Viper but am not so crazy about the attention. When at a red light i try to stop so that i'm behind and in front of the cars besides me (of course there are...
Laura,
Just do it.
Fellow 1996 GTS owner. 940 miles and going.
If you do buy it with the mileage it has and it is mint you'll want to keep it that way. Therefore you will need two or in your case three vipers. I have the same dilemma, i hate using my car because i cannot leave it anywhere, at...
Ok here goes. Now this happened to a very close friend of mine.
Had the viper out on a friday night and on passing by a club he heard his name being called so he stopped and a female friend he had not seen in a while came running over to the car.
A little small talk and a few minutes later she...
