buying a viper any known issues?

[Zsnow]

im hopefully buying an 03 viper mountain with bender tripple pipes and bender clutch kit, sled has about 5000 miles on it, are there any known issues with this many miles on them? and he said the sled leaks antifreeze into the cylinders. what could cause that? easy fix? wicked interested in buying this sled, just want some info first.

it could leak antifreeze from either a bad headgasket seal or at one time its been overheated and warped either the head or tops of cylinders. 5000 miles isnt a terrible amount of miles if the sleds in good shape and you get it for a very good price because it needs some engine repair then you wont get stung on the buy.

id confirm what mrviper said, lots of parts available on this web site pretty cheap if it needs some
