BUYING RT/10 TOMORROW UNLESS SOMEONE STOPS ME!

[DLTARNU]

This is a repost (sorry), but as time is getting short, the need is getting more urgent:

================

I've been looking for over a year while I was overseas. Just got back into town 5 days ago, and have reached a price agreement for a 1999 Black RT/10 w/ cognac interior.

I'm going to see the car on Tuesday, and if all checks out, I'll be buying it.

Could someone who has the ability please run the following VIN for repair history/warranty work? I wouldn't ask if I wasn't serious about purchasing this car.

VIN: 1B3ER65E4XV503676

Also, are there any Viper owners/mechanics in the Sarasota area who can accompany me during the inspection? I will pay for your time, of course.

Thanks in advance, and hopefully after Tuesday I won't be a lowly lurker here anymore.

============

Anyway, unless someone can find a reason I shouldn't buy this car (undisclosed accident, major repair work, etc.) I'll be an owner tomorrow

You will STILL NEED to run VIN and Carfax...for different reasons, as I'm sure you're aware.

YOU should be able to take the VIN to ANY DC dealer and they can run it for you!

Didn't know that. There is one just up the road. Surprised they release such info to the public so freely.

Thanks!

" Surprised they release such info to the public so freely."

Well, yes and no...read the disclaimer and warnings carefully, as much of the info can be viewed, but not shared as I understand things.

BY ALL MEANS, go get the info for your own use!

Where is the car located (address)? I will probably be available Tuesday afternoon 12-2pm if you need assistance.

MES,

Thanks for the offer. Talked to the seller and for scheduling convenience for both of us, I'll be going there Wednesday. Probably be getting into Tampa airport at 9:00ish, then renting a car and driving it to Sarasota.

Will you be free on Wednesday?
