    Importing a Viper to Canada? Insurance??

    I gave up last year trying to get answers to that question. What I did find out was that the viper needs to be 1996 (dual airbag model) or newer. I purchased mine in the Toronto area. You should be able to find one in Canada with lower miles considering our winters. As everyone has...

    Extended Warranties???

    What should I offer for this.... Price games

    Again, I paid 38,000 US. I put a factory 5 yr, 60000 miles bumper to bumper warranty at a cost of 4,500. So as far as math goes - thats 42,500. I still think my car is well worth it. There is no other car that has given me as much satisfaction in owing, not to mention all the looks! Good...

    My check wallet light is on :(

    GenX - your completely right. I almost brought in my Viper for service because I couldn't get it started. Found out that the thickness of the floor mat was preventing the clutch from engaging the starter against the firewall. So mats are in storage now! (They are useless!)

    Thinking about building a garage.

    They are just putting the garage doors on today. I have built a 30'wide by 26' deep garage. If you go ahead. I suggest 2 - doors to be 10ft wide by 8' high. My viper feels tight going into my other garage which has 9ft wide doors. A 10'door will accomadate easily a Excursion or pickup truck...
