Man, the economy *****

Wish I had money.

agreed...the economy *****...not a good time to be selling but a GREAT time to buy! Winter cant come soon enough for me.

You'd think they would take the time to cover the red overspray in the wheel well with some flat black spray paint.

Wonder what kind of damage caused the paint job? Could be another reason it's so cheap besides the economy...

Mine as well is painted black in the three little nooks...

I will never buy a Viper without the keen eyes of this group.

You guys are great!

I knew this car was not 100% and I wanted to see what you guys found out.

You always get what you pay for. Another scary point is they never took any engine shots. Usually hiding something.


Did you guys notice the front spoiler looks like it has been shaved at the bottom?

Agreed!!! Very sloppy repaint!

I think the nooks are actually stickers. If so, they could have easily ordered them to help cover their tracks... Some scammers are stupid.

Ya it does look short, but I don't think it's a gen 1.
If you look at the sides where it comes down and around the front bottom it looks like gen 11.
It looks trimmed off the bottom, who knows why??

Have to love this board and the knowledge of its members.

Look at a few pics of a car on the internet and find flaws that detect things that many buyers of the car would never find nor know about.

How someone that frequents this board on a regular basis could buy a baffed Viper when represented otherwise is near impossible.

Keep up the good work gang, I lurked for a year, and found mine...........

going to look at the dealer pics now

, see what I can find!

 

[genXgts]

did some snooping, check out the rim shot.

neat styling trick to tape off 2 bolts and leave 2 for a nice coat of enamel!

also in the first side shot (R/S) it looks like the dreaded front fascia to hood gap is tighter at the front than the rear (at front tire).

if the hood was not fully seated I would think the gap would inverse the other way.
