seems a little fishy since the license plate says nevada on it, and it is supposed to be in tampa fl...

That license plate appears to be photoshopped.

Tell the person you have a friend in Tampa that could come look at the car for you. If it's for real get an address and find a Viper owner there through the local club to go check it out. If it's bogus, you'll get some lame excuse. Whatever you do...DON'T SEND ANY MONEY UNTIL YOU KNOW IT'S FOR REAL!!!
I almost lost $5,000.00 because I wasn't using my head. I just wanted a Viper so bad that common sense went right out the window. Once the money is sent, you'll never see it again and there not much anyone can do about it. People that try and scam others should die a slow and very painful death!
Be careful and don't get in a hurry. There are A LOT of Vipers for sale, so take your time and don't get bummed out if this isn't the one.

was just curious to find out more information from sources other than the apparent vendor . . . but i'm sure now it's a scam after reading the latest email...
2nd email from the 'vendor':
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting me about the Viper.
About the car:The car is in perfect conditions ,no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage,no engine problems.The interior is in like new condition and has never been smoked in. The car is still
US registered so you will not have to pay any custom taxes.
The problem is that I had to move with my family in ITALY where I got a new job transfer.I brought the car here with me with the intention of driving it but when I found out about the very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I've changed my mind and I've decided to sell the vehicle.I want to sell it in US because is still registered there.
The amount you will have to pay in order to own this vehicle is 17,000.00 $ with shipping costs included! I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the financial part of this deal will be managed by a third party,in this way both of us will be protected.They will keep the payment until you receive the item and test it.
So if you really want it please email me as soon as possible.
Thank
you."

3rd email responding to some of my questions:
As I said in my first email the car is currently located in Italy..."
doesn't look like italy in the photos!... thought the import costs prohibited you from importing to italy?
"...and it will be shipped from here by air."
snakes above!...

CROM - did wonder about the plate.... hoped an FE owner may spot, but if photoshopped guess such an owner won't exist...!
96GTS - you know how i feel!
want the beast but $17k is stupid low (maybe right for the ARomeo!). good to know there maybe a club member out there who might cast an experienced eye over a future buy for me however, i'd plan to meet the vendor in person and pay them in person - a holiday to the USA / country would be the bonus!
so does anyone recognise if it's their viper in the photo (without the plate)?
is there a Jeffrey Davis owner?
