It looks good for 150k on it, but we all know pictures can be deceiving and there's no under the hood pics??

 

[ViperJames]

Yea saw that one on EBAY....thats NUTS! I guess if it was perfectly maintained then it should be good, but I would never buy that car when you can get the same year car with 20k on if for not much more.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Front fascia is cockeyed. Other than that it looks dang good for 150K miles.

I will be there soon. I can't wait.

 

[klamathpro]

It's screaming for a hood latch adjustment. Driver side gap is non-existant.

 

[ViperJohn]

The drivers seat looks awefully good for 150K worth of miles.

 

[big-n-italian]

looks a bit rough to me. look at the nose and hood gap. 150k. salvage title. interior looks pretty worn as it should with that kind of mileage. minimum - nose needs repainted. bad hood and headlight gap on pass side. drivers side door gasket is ripped. what is the wire hanging below the dash? - looks like the entire panel below the steering wheel is missing. can light even get through the frosted headlights? i noticed he didnt mention tire condition.

it should be fun to see what happens.

 

[JUCD VPR]

I decent starter viper for someone who can't afford a newer lower mileage viper.

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

I missed the salvage title part, and in the 1st pic, the hood latch didn't catch on the passenger side, thats why the hood doesn't look even

Not bad for only 19K............

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

Not bad for only 19K............

Good point, for $19k, I'm tempted to buy it and paint it (I don't need 2 red RT's ). I'm thinking it'll ultimately end up selling for mid-high 20's

 

[joe117]

As some of you know, I have a 108k 94.
I replaced the seats with new, the dash, steering wheel. The interior looks very nice.
My car was repainted and looks good on the outside.
I had the clutch and flywheel replaced, Steering rack, new breaks all around and also many other mechanical parts. new 3.55 gears, wheels from a 96, sticky Kouhmos. The engine in my car was replaced at 95k under an extended warranty.
I have the factory hard top, the factory soft top and the slider factory side curtains. I have one of the new one piece hard tops from Jeff.

The point of all this is that I don't think I could get more than mid $20k for my car and it doesn't have a salvage title.

I doubt thatanyone will pay mid $20k for that one.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Wow, now that is high mileage. Someone really drove that one.

Agree. It needs a little TLC and some phone calls to Chuck Tator/JonB for some parts. Can't tell about the over all paint job, but front facia's aren't that expensive to paint.

 

[BradH]

I'm glad whenever I see Vipers out there with mileage that high. Gives me confidence that they can go that far as long as they're maintained.

 

[cayman]

"Its my sunday driver - when weather permits."

150,000 miles/12 years/52 weeks = 240 miles/week

Either the first owner put a sh^t pile load of miles on it or the second owner averaged 240 miles per Sunday......and drove it every Sunday!

Wow Joe. You only 5K more miles than me and I haven't needed to replace any of that stuff. And the seats still look great even with my big butt sitting in them for all those miles.

 

[ryan94rt10]

my guess is that is a mis-print...only has 15000...and that is pretty rough for only 15k!!

 

[94RT10Ohio]

Final price.... 22.2K.

Figure a paint job
Interior work
Headlights
Tires (guessing)
You still have not done anything under the hood (big mystery with no pics)

Figure about an additonal 10K, so, someone just spent 32K for a 150K mile Viper?? Hmmmm.....

"Figure a additonal 10K, so, someone just spent 32K for a 150K mile Viper?? Hmmmm....."

Viper values are FINALLY coming up

 

[sween]

looks good except the headlights look really worn out

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

Hey, different perspective- buy for 22.2K and do nothing but drive it (considering that some owners don't want to add miles, this is a luxury being jealous over!) and probably sell it later (for 22.2K?) Cheapest fun per mile of most Vipers.

I agree, I was just trying to get the car up to the level of what I guess normal Vipers are and comparing the cost difference.

 

[96-RT10 Supercharged]

High milage is sometimes hard to tell if the car's worth it. I've got 194k miles on mine so far and track it almost every other weekend. No way I'd sell mine for $19k ...haha

[my viper]

Congrats on having that high miiles on your viper. I'm sure you are very proud of it. But, WHY pull all the high mile threads from ages ago and post the same thing?

 

[96-RT10 Supercharged]

I was searching to see what other high milage cars were out there. So far it appears as though the other ones I'm seeing are 155k from an ad and 111k from Joe I think. I had heard that there were a few other higher milage people posting on the boards, so I replied to the 6 threads dealing with high milage. Some of them are asking what types of problems people are having.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Damn. Sounds like it was a nice deal. Clicked the link and it no longer works. Sorry I missed that one.

That's cause it was from last August.

 

[VENOMAHOLIC]

Listing has been removed or cancelled. Even the highest mileage Vipers will have a parts out value higher than the average car.

So...what if any items have you had to replace on your yours? Did the engine make it that long? Please share with us oh experienced one...
