Here is a link to the one I was referring too. It looks great, very well taken care of but pictures can lie.

That's the one I was referring to. I don't remember the owner's name but it might have been Tom or something like that. Ask him how long he's had it for, if he's only had it for 6-8 months then it's a different guy AND those would not be current pics. Those pics were used in the old ad.

Offer him 35k for it

Pictures can lie... I would also ask for a Car Fax but also ask your insurance company to run a check on the Vin. Insurance companies have their own database that can see all losses reported to the all insurance companies based off the Vin numbers. So sometimes car fax will show no accidents and when you have your first claim you find out that the car had a few prior accidents. Just be smart and buy the right one not the cheapest one you can find but the right one.

Great Advise ViperRT98, thanks. I have not considered having my insurance guy do some due diligence in my Viper hunt. Also, your right, I have bitten on a cheap price in the past and wish I had waited.

Pretty fair price given the low mileage and I'm sure they'd negotiate a bit. It's got the 6 spokes as well and I think that color looks nice.

Congrats to be on the hunt! As a few others have said, save a little wiggle room in your budget for the "extras" that come up shortly after buying.. the really critical one is TIRES...
