    Cost of fixing Viper 94 - 96

    So far it seems that Vipers are not full of super expensive surprises and if properly taken care of, will last a while. Any other stories regarding fixing and how much they cost?

    Older vettes had the same technique of openning the hood. :D

    Thanks for the advice. I am not thinking of buying a Viper to have it only for a year. However, knowing life I cannot discout that option. Not because I cannot afford the maintenence, but knowing life, one needs to take all possibilities into the equation of Viper ownership.

    Thanx for your contribution. Undoubtedly, lack of windows and solid roof is not the best solution for somebody who lives in urban setting such as NY. I admire the dedication to the machine of those who drive it every day. However, I am planning on Viper to be my second car purely for fun, mostly...

    I am not mechanically inclined but I do have a dear friend who is a good mechanic and have been fixing my cars for the last 20 years (including my vette). He is a solid, smart and patient guy who charges around $60/Hour and enjoys working on cars. He is very detailed and disciplined when...

    When I was reading your post I was under the impression that your prices are on the high side and then I saw what kind of a Viper you possess. WOW , that thing could race an F16 and give it a serious run for the money. I guess when one has 1600 under the gas pedal a 5K tranny is the only...

    I would love to get one of those pristine almost virgins with less than 15K on the odometer and then slowly improve her till she is ready to rumble. It would probably be the best way to spend even more $$$ on the car without wife searching for divorce lawyers in local directory. I am not into...

    While in college which was a while ago, I was asked to leave a Toyota dealership because I just wanted to look and was not ready to provide my personal info. To say that I was unhappy would be an understatement. I left and guess what? I have never ever been back to that or any other Toyota...

    Knowing what you are up to is half the battle. :)

    Why are those hoods so expensive to replace? I am guessing they are no longer being produced and hence the price being so high. Also why would they develop cracks?

    Not to worry plum. I will run the numbers by you when I decide to pull the trigger so that I can get your approval. So far I am getting a lot of attention from you without the Viper. Imagine if I had one ;) Enjoy the skyline. One day U2 shall be able to reside there. As always.... much...

    I have no problem paying decent money for good service. I am just trying to see if the Viper tax is closer to Vette tax or Porsche's Tax. :)

    How much would the two ones mentioned set me back?

    I could live with 19K for that V10 but $500 for a gas cap - that is crazy territory. I guess no more going top the bathroom while at the gas station. Either that or taking the cap with me. LOL :rolaugh:

    Since Vipers are not dime a dozen, it is hard to determine the cost of keeping the beast running for those who have yet to be privileged of its ownership. I think it would be a splendid idea to gather prices paid for all kinds of repairs one would encounter while owning the vehicle in question...
