New Viper Purchase

[RhinoCat]

I getting closer to making a deal on a 2005 SRT 10. It has 12 thousand miles on it. Can anyone give me a heads-up as to what to look out for? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Where you at? Definitely have someone put it on a lift and take a peek. Look for tale tell signs of shoddy repair work. And if you post your location, you may get a knowledgable member here to help out.

I would get a Carfax AND ask a C-J-D dealer to run the VIN...match the histories, look for service records, inconsistent mileage data, or other problems...including such things as a buy-back, auction history, accident repairs, salvage history, warranty work (or possible warranty restrictions).

I would find a Viper Tech to do a full inspection AND check the history with local VCA members/officers.

If ALL of the above checks work out satisfactorily... you may have a car!!

Thanks for the feedback...I'm in Vancouver BC and if there is a member nearby I'd be very appreciative of some local knowledge.

Hey Rhino, I'm a Service Manager for a CDJ Dealer in NY. Send me the full Vin and I'll run a AutoCheck [it's just like a carfax] and a Chrysler Dealer Connect check for you. Also send me a fax number and I'll send you all the info on the car.

What Steve said.

RhinoCat comes from my boat name "Rhino" which is powered by a pair of Cats (caterpillar engines)...it's as "creative" as I could get at the time...

Commercial fishing?


Is the car in BC? I am the founder of the Western Canada Viper Club, I might know the car.
If the car is not a Canada spec car, you might have some difficulty importing it.

No, just a pleasure craft... Some sport-fishing though, salmon, halibut and the occasional ling ... mainly cruise the Gulf islands and a bit into the San Juans...
