Found this for sale on craigslist. Looks clean enough, but looks can be decieving. And who takes the AC out of a Viper in AZ?!

[stryfe]

I've done without AC in OKC before and I can't imagine it is any fun here. The KBB is around $26K for excellent condition with those miles, so I don't know if I could bring myself to pay that for a salvage title. It's so easy to total these cars (front end damage) that a salvage title alone doesn't throw me off. Probably some negotiation room there at least. The pictures look decent even if I don't care for the steering wheel.

[TowDawg]

The steering wheel and A/C delete would throw up major red flags as to how the rest of the repair was handled. From my view, I look at it as they did that to save on the repair costs. What else did they scrimp on?

[72hemi]

Judging by the information and pictures in the ad I would be very leery. My guess is when it was in the accident both airbags deployed and during the repair to save costs a non-airbag steering wheel was installed and it looks like the passenger airbag was replaced with some kind of plate. I would also bet the AC was removed because it was damaged in the accident and it was cheaper to fix the car without repairing the AC. I also don't like the idea of the hood pins, one they look bad but two and more importantly why were they installed? Is there something wrong with the hood latch? With all the condition issues I see in the pictures, the fact that it has a salvaged title and the high miles I wouldn't pay over $20k for it, but that's just me.

Agreed TowDawg and 72Hemi, the car is iffy at best. It would need a thorough inspection. I don't have the money so i have no plans to buy it, just thought I'd throw it up here for discussion purposes. Perhaps somebody else might be interested in pulling the trigger on this one.

That is being generous. I was thinking $17-$18K at the most. No A/C in AZ, really?

My 97 GTS does not have a passenger airbag, could this be a newer dash replacement? The more you dig, the less this car is worth. Buy it for parts worth only.

[72hemi]

I would buy it to make into a track car assuming the frame is straight.

High mileage: offer $21K- $24K?

[WhiteSnake]

Has anyone checked this listing with the Bill Luke Chrysler Dodge Viper Tech, Eddie Martin? He probably knows most all the cars in AZ and may have info. on this one.

Who's viper is that in your avatar pic?

[WhiteSnake]

Mine. I have 1600 awesome miles on her. I really liked my 2005 Gen 3 but the Gen 5 is so much nicer in every aspect. I'm very happy with her. The wife likes the G5 much better too.

So i'm going to re-purpose this thread, found this on Craigslist as well:

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/4221665233.html

Perhaps we could use this thread to post cars/parts/merchandise/other stuff that we find for sale locally. For example, I'd love to buy this piece of memorabilia but I'm a little short on cash lately with the holidays and all, but maybe somebody else would love to pick it up.

If this violates some posting rules, i apologize. If i could change the title of the thread, i would, anybody know how?

[stryfe]

that would go great in a garage.

I'm sure these would look awful on my Sapphire RT, but maybe they'll look great one somebody elses????

[Leslie]

Can't use a/c at track and it's added weight, usually first thing to remove in a roadraced car.

Those are not for a Viper, they are "Viper look" for a 5-lug car owners who want to make their car as cool looking as a Viper ! LOL !
