    Five days with the Viper so far....

    >>holy balls that car is in great shape, good pick As the former owner, thanks for the props. I will say that I did have my yellow labrador/shepherd mix in the car 3 times total (in 5 yrs ownership) and she shed like crazy leaving dog hair in difficult places to vacuum. Mark (new owner), you...

    How long does a Viper take to sell?

    >> I just bought a viper today and financed 36k and plan on paying the remainder of 6k in cash tonight. What a coincidence! LOL! Hey Mark! Hey everyone, it's the buyer of my Viper! Wow, didn't expect you to be on the Viper boards today. Figured you'd be running around getting new plates...

    How long does a Viper take to sell?

    I just sold my 2001 RT/10 today (Wednesday) for $42,000 ($1k less than asking). I know a lot of people are saying I overpriced it even at $43,000 but I'm telling you most comparable cars were selling for $5000-$9000 more. But that's neither here nor there - what's done is done. I'm happy I...

    How long does a Viper take to sell?

    >>Im about 30 min south of you that is close. Least I know Viper buyers exist in CT. I was loosing hope. >>If your car was a hard top Id be all over it. Well, aren't removable hardtops like $3500? That gives you the best of the GTS and the RT/10! :) Not sure how quiet an RT/10 is with a...

    How long does a Viper take to sell?

    Typo on my part. It's 20k miles not 29k. 0 and 9 are right next to each other on the keyboard. Well, sounds like I should at least get $43,000. Those recommending $39,000 are crazy even if I was at 29k miles. I see very few 2001 Vipers under $40,000. I'm in Fairfield county where everything is...

    How long does a Viper take to sell?

    I listed my red 2001 Dodge Viper 29k miles back in Oct 2006 on ebay, VCA classifies, and Autotrader. I had it listed for $52,000. No bites. I figured it was because I'm in CT where winter was approaching and I have a convertible. Then I waited till January and again relisted on eBay and...

    selling Viper and taking a 2 yr hiatus

    >>The market is strong for Gen II Vipers and seems to be getting stronger. Why? Plain and simple, LOOKS. Couldn't agree more. Gen I and II are nicer looking. If I sell, I will be looking for a Gen II in 2 years. Thanks everyone for the congrats, well-wishes, etc. The car is in near...

    selling Viper and taking a 2 yr hiatus

    It was a very hard decision, but I've decided to sell my 01 RT/10. With a new baby I've found it more difficult for my wife and I to go take a daily cruise in the Viper some where. That and with some bills to pay, I've decided to take a 2 year hiatus from the Viper Nation. Don't worry, I'll...

    Gas smell from garaged Viper

    DOH! It wasn't the Viper after all. It was the main oil tank in the garage installed with the house in 1955. It was slowly leaking, but took a long time to notice since it was pooling on the ground far back where there is no light. I had no idea oil could small like gasoline. Everyone that...

    Gas smell from garaged Viper

    I neglected to schedule a time to bring it in to see the Wizard before I left for vacation. Just called Chuck and looks like he's pretty booked for at least a couple weeks. Silly me. I should have known he'd be busy now, especially with such nice hot Viper-driving weather. Chuck's a very...

    Gas smell from garaged Viper

    For the past few days I've smelled gas in the garage coming from the Viper. I started the engine and the engine started to race and go to high RPMs. I turned the engine off fast before it red lines. While the engine was off, I quickly tapped the gas pedal a couple of times to see if maybe the...

    What color is primer?

    Thanks carguy07. It feels slighly gouged, so maybe he went through the primer to the body itself. What color is the body of the wheel well? Is it black? If so, maybe he removed paint + primer. I'd just hate to start rubbing really hard and then remove paint + clear coat in the surrounding area...

    Can I DIY a Kenwood DVD player?

    I have never installed a car stereo system in my life. I was thinking about getting the Kenwood Excelon KVT-817DVD DVD/CD player with 7" video screen: Will this fit a 2001 RT/10? It is single-DIN, so I assume this is a standard size, but I know very little about this stuff. I read somewhere...

    What color is primer?

    I have a 2001 red RT/10. Noticed a small black mark in front of the front tire. I used some GS27 scratch remover on it and some it came off to reveal the red pain. Woohoo! (yes, I know GS27 is pretty abrasive, but the Zaino was too gentle, I tried) GS27 pic: But I can't get the rest of the...

    Stereo upgrade - DVD, TV Tuner, 7" screen

    Re: Stereo upgrade - DVD, TV Tuner, 7 >>How can you fit a 2DIN in a Viper? Are you looking to relocate the vents? LOL! I know, I meant that I was looking for a single DIN, but liked the features on the double DIN Kenwood model which even has a TV tuner option. I hoped someone knew of a...

    Stereo upgrade - DVD, TV Tuner, 7" screen

    Stereo upgrade - DVD, TV Tuner, 7\" screen I'm looking to upgrade my head-end unit to something that plays DVD (while moving - must be "hackable" to do this), CD player, touch-screen, iPod integration is a bonus. I have a stock 2001 RT/10 and I'm not sure if I can fit a double-din into the...

    Battery died - can't remove lug nuts

    Re: Battery died - can\'t remove lug nuts what about attempting to jump it? Where do I connect the negative? I tried connecting to the body. I'm using a Husky Portable AC/DC power system to try and jump the Viper which has 450amps of power. When connected to the Husky, I don't see a single...

    Phantom Speeding Ticket

    CitySnake - an alternative viewpoint is always appreciated. To answer your theory, no this dirt road is not used by car thieves. It's a 1/3 mile straight narrow dirt road that has a river on one side and houses on the other - so it is a neighborhood with driveways. There are plenty of cars...
