    I see at least two red flags based on my Viper experiences. Will be happy to discuss with you if you so choose.

    Add two yellow flags.

    Do you mind sharing what you believe the flags are? I'm looking but only see some under hood personalization and the srt badges removed.

    Yeah agreed, if he see's these "red flags" that could help the Viper community, why not share them here?

    "Yellow flags" referred to recall status...which I was able to resolve by cross checking on FCA Recall site. " Pedigree " is my biggest worry based on similar situations that have been ferreted out in the past. This takes a different level of inquiry. A CAREFUL examination of said car would be mist helpful...along with a little insider info.

    One person's red flags could be someone else's "don't care." The car was titled as a Corporate fleet vehicle for the first 3700 miles/15 months. The equipment listing shows that it was delivered as a "Marketing / Public Relations Vehicle". So, if you don't like your car possibly having "been with" a bunch of other guys or driven spiritedly, then maybe it is something that you want to know. The car is a 2014; but, not an r28 recall car. So that could be a plus or a minus. Some wouldn't want a r28 car because it belongs to a group built with particularly suspect engine quality. Some, like me, think of it as an advantage because the r28 cars typically have a 10 year powertrain warranty. This one isn't included in the r28 category.

    These and other considerations must be carefully weighed by the potential buyer as they do affect the value in the minds of many. That said, proposed use of said vehicle also weighs in heavily in my opinion. A car for the track or for full out racing modification is far different than a weekend show and shine car...with everything else falling somewhere in the middle.

    By the way, the "window sticker" looks like one as it should for a car sold before the factory price reduction of $15,000.00 per Viper that took place either in late August or early September of 2014.

    I have sold Vipers since 1999, but I will simply state, " When Steve - Indy speaks, people listen!!!!"
