I found a deal too good to be true, but I dont' want to get scammed.

Here's the VIN - VIN Number: 1B3BR65EXSV200915

It's a Dodge Viper (not sure what year)

I found a listing for a Viper for $10,000 US dollars

Car is in perfect running condition.
only 10,000 "pampered" miles
not sure of the year. probably first year out. what year was that?
the guy says it's got a clean title and also sent me the vin #
he says perfect running condition, and everything is like new.

I don't want to get scammed. Is it a steal or is it not far off from normal?

Thanks

It would be a 95 RT/10, and I would guess the "book" value is still well above $30k -- not sure what they actually sell for.

Click to expand...

lol just for ****s and giggles you should ask him where to send it. Then see if any guys locally live around there, and show up and ask to see the car.

if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is unless the owner is a crack head.

Well, carfax lists it as being for sale by a dealer, if this guy is saying that it's his, then he might have gone to the dealer, took pics, got the VIN and stuff hoping for a quick thousand bucks.... I dunno, be careful.
