xpguy Prowler Junkie Posts: 1108 From: Carlsbad, CA Registered: MAR 2004	posted 06-14-2005 11:46 PM Still have a spot open in the garage. Been thinking of picking up an older Viper. Like the looks better than the late 90s versions, especially the side pipes. One for sale locally here with a custom paint job and low miles. KBB says $34K but don't want to spend over $30K. Any thoughts on this one? Thanks in advance, Guy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4555840021&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT

ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 06-15-2005 07:17 AM I'd ask myself if those low 18,000 miles were easy miles, or hard driven fast miles. Why boost the horsepower if it wasn't to drive it hard? I'd look for a nice '99 or newer Viper with the added amenities that came along in the Viper development,,jmo.

tangled up in BLUE Prowler Junkie Posts: 11086 From: New Castle, Ind Registered: DEC 2000	posted 06-15-2005 10:17 PM I had two 94 Vipers along the line....no major disappointments with mine.... ...side exhaust pods corrode from the inside out ...hoods have stress cracks from rubbing the air box ...all of them need head gaskets replaced ...leak terrible if you get caught in the rain ...gas filler tube grommets tended to leak at tank causing smell ...loud, fast, and get lots of attention ...a tremendous amount of fun for the $$$ ...95 was last year for side exhaust ...97 first year for roll up windows ...02 was the last year for the RT/10 go as new as you can find.....there isn't much price difference between the years....
