'02 Viper GTS for $25K: http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/409359.aspx

Just do it. We can't talk you out of it. There's no reason to talk you out of it.

oh my. mee likee

When my buddy was buying a house about 8 years ago, I said screw that, buy a Viper and live in it.

This forum is full of enablers.

You're doomed.

Interesting- parked in front of a senior center.

Well, he did say, "was my dad's daily driver..."

Could mean it wasn't abused too badly...

Unless the only time his dad drove was at the track.

His father must be Dave.

That's only a couple miles from me...

I want to add a Viper to the fleet eventually....I say go for it!!

At that price, you can't afford not to buy it.

Just do it so the rest of us can pine over it. Holy crap that's the hotness. I usually don't like yellow cars all that much but, I would DEFINATeLY ROCK THAT! ........bad thoughts. really bad thoughts.

I beleive it was Dirty Harry that said that a man has to know his limits... that is beyond my limits

Whatever you do, DO NOT get an insurance quote before you buy it!

I'm probably old enough to be your dad and you really don't want any car I've used up.

Possibly...there are a few on this board... but I doubt it...

I vote kb58 to go test drive it for us.

How are you going to expect me to talk you out of one of the leaders on my all-time list of cars I want to own that I could actually own?

The only thing that really makes me hesitate is the parts cost. Wasn't it a month or two ago when we were all talking about replacement costs for the clamshell hood?

Edit - was that car a test mule or something? I noticed it's the same one used on the Dave's Big Brakes site and has a fair number of their parts.

How is this so cheap? I've seen early vipers sell for mid to high 20s, but every GTS I've come across was around $40k at least. It's got a lot of miles for a Viper, but would that really kill the value of the car that badly?

I've been saving up for a down payment on a house... but I'd gladly live in an apartment for a while longer to own a $25k viper gts - if it's legit.

Buy it, then rent to us for track days!

I've seen Viper GTS's reliably go for around 35k, give or take a couple grand, and up. The blue/white ones tend to command more. I'd pay the extra for the GTS over the RT/10, which isn't bad itself.

Noooo, must... keep... building Midlana...

scuse me I gotta go change.

Is a GTS that much better than an RT/10?

Wikipedia sez about the RT/10: "However, the car proved tricky to drive at high speeds, particularly for the unskilled."

It's suddenly make my List Of Want, even though I'm not exactly what you'd consider that skilled a driver.

You're all a bunch of jerks. I just came close to accepting that I probably would be able to buy a Viper, but not its parts. Now I'm looking for a hovel to move in to free up some money.
