Hey guys,
someone is selling his 94 rt/10 viper close to me and it is very clean with hardtop and hard sliding windows. BUT the only thing it has around 79k miles on it. he is selling it for about 28k. It is red and everything looks clean with a clean title no accidents. I am fairly new at vipers so do u think this is a good buy? even though of the higher mileage?
thanks

I would say for a coupla grand more you could get much lower mileage.. not that 79k is terrible but there are better deals out there to be had for sure.
I think $26k would be a little closer for those kind of miles. I got mine for a little less with 53k miles but it has been in an accident. Despite appearances, have it looked over by a good mechanic or preferably a Viper tech to make sure everything is sound. Good luck!
If the head gaskets haven't been done, that will cost you another $2-$3000 to fix. A better option is to buy my 1997 RT/10 28,950 miles and in great shape. No accident or paint work(although the front facia need to be re-done). Come check it out, you won't be disappointed. Gen II is th eonly way to go, real windows and no engine issues.

I would if i could afford that. lol as u can see im looking for one under 30k$
I have a red 94 with A/C, Mopar Hardtop and Northwind hard windows. Has 20,500 miles and has the head gasket upgrade. Also has smooth tubes and filters, otherwise stock. Original paint except for front facia repaint due to bottom side scrapes. Clean carfax and no accident history. Tires 50% or better. No curbed wheels. Immaculate unscratched paint on dash. I am second owner. Car always in Jacksonville, FL so driven limited miles year round and never stored for the winter. I would guess it is worth around $33-34K in the current market. That gives you a basis of comparison.
I would wait until I could spend a little more and get a clean low mileage car. Most selling for under $30,000 have some kind of undesirable history.
Repairs are mucho expensive and a well cared for, low mileage car should give you more problem free driving. Lots of cars on e-bay have a history. Check carfax and have it looked over by a knowledgable Viper owner.

It's not just a car, it's a Viper!
There is a red 94 with 94k going for 18.5k. His price is high. the one in GA is low due to it being ragged out a little. But it is at a dealer and it runs and drives good!
Mileage isn't as big as a factor on specialty cars, it's more about the condition it's still in. Have a good VIPER tech look over it, make sure to get a compression and leakdown test. Try to find the history of the car including if the gaskets have ever been replaced and if the engine/transmission has ever been rebuilt. The only deal with the head gaskets was that when the cars were first released they had a crappy paper thin gasket that warped and cracked over time, the new head gaskets are a thicker metal type.
BUT despite all the above I'd recommend holding off on buying a Viper. Sure, everyone has a budget with buying a car, but if you are having to cut corners by having to buy an old high mileage car then you may want to wait until you can afford to put in another $10k-15k (cause you'll probably end up putting that much into the higher mileage car anyway if you find out later that you need an engine rebuild amongst other things).
