Opinion on this viper?
Might go check this car out.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...fCarsQ5fTrucks
Sold the zo6 a while back and hated that fact it didnt have a removable top. I thought it wouldnt bother me but it actually did. Possibly in the market for a vert or targa car that would just be a nice weather car. What are your opinions on the 2004-2005 vipers? I knoe the older ones rode like crap and were hard to drive. Want a fast roll race car and a car to take the wifey on dates in looking pimp. LOL....How fast are these cars actually? My zo6 made 400 rwhp. How will it compare? Also owned a few 400 hp fbodys that ran low 12's. Never thought I would own a viper but you can get them for great prices these days. I know the miles are a tad high but open to options as long as the car was cared for

**** Texas Auto Direct! I wouldnt waste my time, money on anything them assclowns have. There cars and trucks are pure crap, they all look like they took a bath in rocks. Me and the old lady looked at a few cars and I got flat out pissed off, and disgusted with them.
There methodology on selling cars is about as logical as a cheap 1000 hp 2jz

Those stripes are shitty vinyl stripes, and would need to be removed. Vinyl stripes have no place on a Viper. Hope the red didn't fade and the striped areas are brighter.
Stock, they are 11.9-12.1 cars, trap around 119-122 usually. Very well built, so the miles wouldn't scare me here.
Newer ones still ride like crap. But they handle like a dream on the roadcourse.

45k miles on an 04 is a lot of miles. i DD my frc and had 33k and it was a 99.
i agree with being well built. but since that thing was probably DD'd, expect a lot of rock chips, curb checks, scuffs under nose, ect that those pics arent going to easily show. not that thats a *huge* deal though.

I drove from Dallas to there just to see a truck they had posted was not the same as the one I saw and looked like ****.
Just read all the bad things about this place.
That was the idea to make it look perfect ... "Photoshop"
That place needs to be shut down they are full of ****... I bet you go see that car in person you will come back and say it looked like **** or something was majorly wrong with it.

After driving all that way when I got home I was pissed and did some research to find out I wasn't the only one.

I saw a car on ebay and read further in the details... It said call for buy it now !!! So i called to see what the deal was, the salesman told me that if I wanted the car they could end the ebay auction immediately and take an additional @1000.00 off the price, and all they needed was a $500.00 deposit. Let me tell you folks the car in the pictures was amazing!!! Not the case when I arrived to see the vehicle!!! This piece of **** didn't even look like the car on ebay!!! Not to mention that I was waiting around for almost 3 hours while they "went to bring the vehicle around!!" I checked there ebay feedback and they have thousands of satisfied customers with thousands of positive feedback reviews!!! I wish I would have checked here first.. I can promise youa nything I purchase from now on I will extensively check out the company first.. To make a long story short, they woulnd not give me a refund and I didn't take possesion of the car!!! They are cyber criminals and from reading these posts.. I think they should all be put into jail...

I got my car there. Ill be honest their customer service sucks I had bought extended warranty n over a year later comes to find they didnt send the 2k for it. They refunded the money to the bank after alot of calls. But I will say my car was beautiful n spotless when I picked her up from them with 33k miles. Iam super satisfied with my vehicle but not with their service. I dont think ill deal with them again tho.

They are scumbags. I have a good friend that used to be a salesman there when in college and had to quit because he had such a bad conscious working there and lying to people everyday. He butted heads with his bosses quite a bit, and just walked out after a short time.

So your car is a little over eleven years old so at about three thousand miles a year if you drove it every day you put roughly about eight miles on it a day...i know thats its not every single day but generally speaking (if it was)...thats keeping the miles off of your car...I read somewhere that people generally put approximately twelve thousand miles on there vehicle throughtout a year...my 04 silverado has about the same miles as your car approximately 33 thousand

Ppl always worry about miles on Vipers, but they're well built cars and if we were looking at an Fbody we'd all think 45k was great! Viper engines arent half assed, the whole power train is very strong, so don't let miles scare you. Personally, I thought it looked pretty clean, didnt like the rims, but that's just me
