possible SRT10 purchase

[vipernut]

Hi Guys
im looking into changing my 97 GTS for this srt10 ive found on ebay,its done more miles than mine but its alot newer and has the bigger brakes too!,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...

do you think it looks ok,
is anyone out there after a very clean 97 GTS in Blue??

Hi Paul, well it looks OK, but I would not take a dealers word for it

Research, Research, Research is the key.

Contact some local members of the VCA and see if anybody will check the car out for you and give it a test drive.

Get an additional 'CarFax' search done on the car for piece of mind.
The Stoat (Andy) uses his car as a daily driver, I'm sure you could PM him if you wanted any info on how the later model car drives and weather there are any roof leak problems to watch out for.

Good luck with your quest

And if there's any room in that container for some tyres.....Well there a lot cheaper over there

must admit i like the silver on a vert, just something about it
60,000 miles there got to be a few parts starting to wear that could need sorting,
but the price is right

dont think the tyres are that much cheaper Mark, just checked on tirerack a rear 18" PS2 is $440 Time youve added the UK taxes and shipping to your container

$415.00 @ Viper Parts America But I know what you mean

[vipernut]

do the roofs leak on these srt10,s?,
any other issues i might run into at 60000 miles?,would the mileage put you off buying or not guys??
ive got a good quote for shipping too with Schumacher Logistics,
im tempted to make an offer on it

The Gen-3 and Gen-4 convertible roofs are much better than the old soft-tops of the Gen-1/2's

No leaks so far encountered!

[viper paul]

Mine never leaked in fact other than the fact you had to turn off the engine before you could lift the boot and put the hood up in a thuderstorm on the way to Hockenheim its one of the best roofs I have had on any of my convertables.

[TheStoat]

I can keep the engine running while I raise or lower the roof. That's a 3rd generation though

nope its easy, x1 rear fog and side indicators in the hood gap, being a sparky it will be very easy for you to DIY

speak to Baz he's the expert at this having done loads of SVA viper/mustang prepping
