Viper Owner
I will be looking at this Viper on Thursday of this week. Price is excellent, however there is some small damage. Another Viper owner went to look at the car and test drive and everythign else on the car checks out and is good. For the price, it is hard to pass this one up even with the damage.
After seeing the damage in the photos, I may wish to have it repaired. A guestimate from a local body shop looking at photos was $1K. Would you guys repair this damage.... or replace the entire sill (Sill is about $4,500 I think)? My only concern is that it may have hit/damaged the exhaust, but I am guessing no.
It was explained that his gf (now ex - lol) was driving in a parking lot with him and cut a corner too close and this sill clipped a curb. There is no damage to the wheels or anywhere else, so it seems to add up and the photo looks like that too.
In some shots and just walking up to the car it is hard to see the damage.

Another option, of course, is I get it for the deal price and just drive it with that defect as-is.
Thoughts?
