This is rediculous. Read why he is selling his Hennessey Viper!

The ignorance level in America scares me.

Obviously that can't be the real reason, but couldn't he at least make it believable?

Idiot.

I agree. A fuse and windshield wiper? Come on.

Typical to blame others for that as well. Im sure it had nothing to do w the shop. Maybe the fuse w the sub or something, but it was a 6" sub...so maybe. Even still.

Come on

I'm guessing it's someone who has more money than intelligence. That's a freakin' expensive Viper...you don't buy one of those unless you have too much money and need to waste it on something

ok, that guy doesn't have the car. plain and simple.. its a scam bid. that viper is real, but the guy selling it does not own it.. either his account was hacked, or he is just trying to do a quick scam.

there is NO way a guy with a car like that would sell it for those reasons.. ALSO, a local shop would not take 10 months on an audio install on a viper like that.

also, odds are someone with that much money would be more of a collector and wouldn't get carbon fiber cloth seats..

then take a look at the other cars in the neighborhood, and the cars in the driveway.. does that look like an area where people drive around 170,000$ cars? not to me, not saying its impossible, but not likely.

this looks more like some hot shot brought the car to show off, this guy took some pics and is trying to sell it as his own. this auction stinks of BS.

My wheels have oxidized and need to be polished, my windshield wipers no longer work and the smaller of the two amps needs a new fuse. I do not want to do this work myself and decided to just get a new car.

lazy f***...

BTW if it was a Hennessey Venom then the valve covers should read Hennessey or Venom on them.. lets see 600 at the crank +/-25%~30% loss through the transmission..= stock viper with no2..

WOW, even someone with that much money wouldn't sell it for those idiotic reasons. If they had money to blow it would have been fixed, half a day at the mechanics shop would fix those problems.

I agree that this looks like a big 'ol scam! I wouldn't buy a car off ebay unless it was local to me and I went to see it in person.

The same user has another car on ebay, and the ad looks like it's from a dealer (just from the style)
