Buying the 1996 Dodge Viper
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1996 Dodge Viper for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 1996 Dodge Viper for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Viper
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
It uses the 8.0L 10-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 16.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 50 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $29.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who rents the Viper
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Viper for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $29.40 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
