Well I think the time has come that i can make a childhood dream come true and put myself in a viper. Everyone has their first time they saw their first viper. Mine was at a gas station when I was a boy, riding around town on my bike. It was a yellow rt/10 and from that point, I told myself I was going to have a viper one day!

I would like to ask for some help though, and I am far from a mechanic, I could build a house, but my mechanical skills do not really exist. So when you are looking for a viper, are there things that other then personal preference things, like color or mods do you look at? Obviously the history of the car is good to know and if there were any accidents or mechanical issues.The only thing at this point I know I want is a GEN II GTS. Color does not matter, mileage I would like to be less then 30K if possible, slight mods would be great!

I am planning on being around $40k-$45k, is that a fair assumption for a quality car?

I look forward to hopefully learning and getting into a car!
