This is a relist for this Viper R/T10. There is one obvious concern that shows up in the AutoCheck report - it was a reposesed car. This is not to be confused with a salvaged title or other titles with issues. The title is still clear. The Viper was reposessed in 2001 and was retitled in 2002 by the purchaser in Ohio (who was the president of the Ohio Viper Club from what I recall) and the title was changed to reflect the repo. It had less than 15xx miles which is nothing for a 6 year old car. I purchased the car from him in 2002. My reasoning for purchasing the car was "how bad can it be with only 15xx miles on it?" based on its pristine condition. Based on my ownership in the last 9.5 years, my answer to this question is "the car was repo'd but was still a garage queen with low mileage." There are no dings or bodywork damage and no paint work has been done (based on my thorough instpection when i bought her in 2002.) She has been garage kept and never seen rain or snow since I have owned her. I hope this insight in to the AutoCheck red flags makes a little more sense to you now. With that said, I continue with my description of the R/T 10: This is a true Garage Sale! I have too many vehicles and would like to find a good home for this well cared for 1996 Viper R/T10. It has the V10 8 liter engine pushing 415 hp (from the best i can remember). This machine is just brute power! I am the third owner and I bought it back in 2002 with 15xx original miles and now it only has 7200 original miles so you can see that i really haven't had a chance to drive it too much. I actually think I've spent more time washing it than driving it! (With a Ferrari, Lotus (which I just sold), Mach1 (which I just sold), Lamborghini(sold in 2010), I really haven't driven much on any of them - that's the only reason why I am selling them now.) She has been garage kept for the 10 years I have owned her and it'd never been out in the rain or snow. I am 54 years old and I take good care of all my cars (and other stuff) so this is not some ragged out POS on eBay! It comes with both "airplane style sliding" side windows and the original factory hard top. Everything on her is original equipment except that it's in my DNA that I have to put an aftermarket exhaust system on a super car. It has a Borla exhaust that really talks back to you! (The original exhaust system will be included with the car should you want it to be completely stock.) It has never been wrecked, has no dings anywhere - the only issue (and this is common with all super cars) is that the lower area of the front fascia has scraped the asphalt on occasion as it sits really low to the ground. I try to watch out for this, but sometimes you just don't have an option. The fascia is not cracked or gouged at all - just scraped up on the bottom out of normal view (you'd have to put your head on the ground and look up to see the scrapes). I have never even tapped a parking curb! I have had no trouble with the car at all. It doesn't leak any fluids at all. I do keep a trickle charger on the battery at all times as Vipers are infamous about eating up batteries. ait starts up first time - every time. If you are looking for an affordable, well kept super car at a reasonable price (even more reasonable now!). This may be the car for you. If I am not mistaken, there were only 318 of the white Vipers with the blue racing stripes made prior to 2002 - after that I didn't keep up with all of the newer vipers. They were only made in 1996. The blue leather steering wheel, blue leather gear shift knob, blue leather parking brake handle and white backgrounds on the dash gages really combine well with the white and blue "cobra style"dual racing stripes. It really makes this car stand out from the rest. I have the original owner's manual and both sets of keys. If you have any questions or would like additional pictures, please email me and I will help you with any questions or concersn you may have. Thank you for reading this description and your interest in this clean R/T/10 Vipe
