    Extended Warranty Question

    As stated I have a 2000 mile 2009 Viper still under factory warranty (Till March). I purchased the 7 Year (4 additional years) 50,000 mile (lowest available) $100 deductable MaxCare warranty for under 2K. Looks like I could have gotten it a little cheaper elsewhere but went with the people that...

    Extended Warranty Question

    What I've bee able to learn in the last few weeks is Chrysler did in fact change the Vipers vehicle class for warranty purposes from 1 to 3 which substantially changed (doubled) the cost of a 7/50 warranty on my 2009. They have evidently now changed it back to class 2 which does lower the cost...

    Extended Warranty Question

    Hi All I have a 2009 Vert which I purchased new in March of 2010. The warranty will be expiring in the coming months and of course Chrysler has been hawking me by e-mail since September to extend it. I generally extend the warrantys on these type cars because problems and broken parts can be...

    Pre-winterization surprise

    I guess I used the trunk connection because I usually have my Z06 and Viper parked side by side in the garage, they both have trunk mounted batteries and it is convenient to run 1 extension cord to 1 spot for both battery tenders. It was a PITA to install the leads, but it is a one time only...

    Pre-winterization surprise

    When you purchase a Battery Tender (brand) unit, they come with 2 sets of leads, the normal clip on ones and a set of bolt on leads. Both have quick connects that connect to the BT head unit. In both my 04 and 09 Vipers, I removed the battery cover, bolted the permanent leads to the battery...

    Shipping from Florida to Reno?

    DO NOT USE RELIABLE!!!!! I had a very (very!) bad experience with Reliable. They shipped my brand new viper, uncovered with the top down, on the lower deck of the trailer, with an old rusty car above it. It rained gravel and crap all over the inside and outside of my new vehicle for 2000...

    Letting an interested buyer drive your car

    When I bought my '04 it had just 3000 miles on it and the seller had a lift in his garage. I put the car on the lift and went over every inch of the car looking for evidence of damage or paint. I was satisfied at that point and did not need to drive the car. When I sold the car, The weather...

    No master, I just have a real, real strong sense of right and wrong, which is why I have taken a keen interest in this thread. In the case of the Porsche it turned out to be a very youg regional support manager who wanted to make a name for himself by saving the company the cost of an engine...

    They totaled my Viper today

    $6500 back in 1978 and as it turned out a ton of 2978 911SCs ended up with defective valve springs which caused the engine failures. They tried to tell me I overrevved the engine, I said, sorry thats why you have the rev limiter, then they said oh you must have over revved it on a downshift. OK...

    Sounds great, I am hoping for the best outcome. Hopefully the dealership and body shop owners also just want to put this behind them and you can all come to an agreeable settlement.

    Ted, now I don't feel so bad about living in NY any longer! Every day I get out of bed, I think about getting hosed with Federal, State, County and Local taxes. Sounds like it is worse there, but you do have nationwide (Government) heath care, what do you pay for that and is it any good?

    My attorney would be serving the owners of that site with a subpeona to turn over all records and system backups along with an invitation to come and visit his office for a nice deposition.
