Spokane Member to see 2009 Viper Vert?

[viperbob]

It will be in Spokane soon (coming from Alberta), so if there is someone that can take a look at it for me I would appreciate it. It is a Red with White stripes Vert with about 7k miles and the seller says it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. It needs tires and a battery but I just need a look for scratches, scrapes, etc., not a full PPI. And I will be happy to pay for gas, a meal, and whatever costs one might have if they help.

I have been looking for a Gen 4 (or nice Gen 3 if I cannot find one) and I recently had 2 looked at, a Red 2010 with 4700 miles on it and a Silver/Black 2010 with 5700 miles, and both of them had a lot of scrapes, scratches inside and out so I passed on both. When I asked the sellers in advance they both said they were like new and did not disclose the defects since if they had I would not have wasted anyone's time. I also had a Blue/White 2008 looked at where the seller said he could not see any scratches, etc. but when it was looked at they were everywhere - he either lied or never looked at it!

I know there are some that enjoy doing this, just as I do - I recently drove over an hour each way, bad back and all, to check out a Porsche for someone as well as for a Harley that was even further since I believe if I am going to ask I need to help if asked as well!

Thanks all and Merry Christmas!

Never mind, the car is heading toward Illinois Motors eventually so I can wait; however, I may have found another I am seriously considering.

Hey ViperBob. I’ve been seeing your posts, and wondering if you’ve seen this one;

I almost bought it last fall, but their sales staff were just to slow for me. (Winter was coming to the mountains and I was pulling the trigger immediately). Never saw it in person, but looked tight.
I hope this helps you.

Thanks but I am really looking for a Gen 4, my original intent. I started considering Gen 3 cars but I decided I am not giving up what I have now to "settle" for something else!

Well I wish you luck.
I’ll keep my eye out in Western Canada for you.
