I got them down quite a bit from the asking price. I will be trading in my 2005 Green Lexus LS430 (man what a nice car this Lexus is, I hate to see it go). I saw this Viper in person a month ago, but didnt test drive it, I was actually just getting numbers so I could take them to where another Viper was for sale at. The sales man for this Viper I am buying wouldn't budge on the price much at all (he don't work there no mo' ), but then again at the time I didn't try too hard to get them to budge, because I was looking at a few different ones.
I got to test drive this on Thursday. It smells brand new on the inside. It's only got about 8650 miles on it. I got it up on a lift and the frame is clean, no leaks, no rust, no welds.
It is mostly stock, except the HRE wheels, and the Sneaky Pete(?) shifter. The stock stereo, speakers, and amp need to be upgraded ASAP, other than that I might wait a while to do any other up grades.
The reasons why I didnt get to take it home Thursday night was, it was close to closing time and they didnt have time to detail it, or remove a small nail (a very small nail, which I pointed out to them) out of one of the tires. They said it was a liability if they let me drive away with the tire like that. That, and my wife who's name it will be in (so the ex-wife won't find out that I HAVE A VIPER !!!! ) was not with me and not able to sign the papers.
After I bring this home on Monday (God willing) I am sure I'm gonna have a million questions for you guys.
Until then................. tick tock tick tock

I'd suggest you use your first $ towards some basic mods before you invest in a new stereo. Looks like the HRE wheels (very expensive) are not the same size (F & R). Can't be sure from the photo, but if the rears are 19" (rather than 18") the car will not be as balanced as the factory setup.
