hi there,
Im just wondering where i could find some wrecked vipers, The first few years of production
Want to spend around $20,000, they can be smashed, rolled, engine dammage, etc
Found An 94 for $19000 but its pretty wrecked, thought i could get one for around 10 to 15 smashed like that one
since there is 10 grand worth of used parts needed
Any leads to places or someone with a viper would be great.
thanks
And great site

I do not have the money all at once to buy a viper ready to go.
With a smashed one i can fix her up slowly and wont kill me in the money area all at once.
Anyone know who i could call or where to look
Numbers, websites would be great
thanks alot

Do some research before getting a wrecked Viper first.
It is very easy to add up $20K+ just in used parts before you know it, even finding relatively good deals.

Vipers are rare and new the hood alone is $17K, with side sills and doors around $4K+ each new. Used prices are less than half of new but unless you have looked into these part's prices before you will be surprised at how much they cost relative to ordinary cars.

It's an eye opener.

ya i checked those viper guys out, kinda what quit a bit for an older viper
Time you add the parts your better of with just buying one
Anywhere else to look?
That car ecocars is worth no more than 10g's
i added the parts up used and to do the car right you will have to spend atleast 14g's in parts
crazy

Yah, with parts prices going the way they are, its crazy...Once a part (say bumper) goes not available from Chrysler, you will have to pay through the nose for NOS or used parts. The prices will quickly go to more than new list....
