Hello everyone,
bought my srt10 a while back brand new, but i am looking to also purchase a Gen II GTS 2001 or 2002. I'm going to look at a few this week and wanted to ask everyone where what i should be looking for when i look at the cars, or drive them. What are some of the things i should be looking for, exterior wise, or even mechanically? I will be taking it to a viper tech if and when the deal gets that far, but i just want to know what to look for on my own.
thanks

help anyone?

 

[2002GTS]

An 02 GTS should still be under warranty. Be careful of the factory extended warranties. Mine had a 7yr/70k. After I bought the car I found out it wasn't transferable. Check with a dealer first, they can look it up by the vin #.

If your going to be driving the car alot buy one with some miles on it. I bought my 032 with 19k on it and save about $10k over the low mile cars. I drive my car daily.

Also keep in mind that if the car has over 15k miles, it might need a clutch soon.

Skip the 01-02 and go for a '99. You get the more aggressive cam, better sound, forged pistons, etc..... Here's a good one! /images/graemlins/wink

if you plan on leaving the car stock, listen to carrot and get a 96-99...

btw, nice shameless plug carrot. :thumb:

Making room for a new srt coupe I believe.

thanks for the replys fellas. Is there anything on the cars that i should be looking for? i know to look for dark brake fluid etc...what else should i be looking for? I heard on the Gen 1 and 2 cars, it's nearly impossible to tell if it was painted or not. What should i look for body and mechanical wise?
thanks

Shit, just fly up to Dallas and buy mine! You won't need to look for any problems, and you'll have 700rwhp! I'm thinking about an SRT10 to tide me over until the coupes come out. I love this car, I'm just ready for a change.

While I can't vouch for his car, I can vouch for his character. Big Carrot is a good guy and quite helpful to fellow Alley members.

thanks for the offer big carrot. I appreciate it. Red was the color i was trying to avoid however, not because i think it looks bad, red looks crazy on vipers. I was looking for the graphite colored vipers...since it is my favorite color of course.
