The 2004 Dodge Viper for buyers
No 2004 Dodge Viper is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2004 Dodge Viper, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 8.3L 10-cylinder, driving through a 6-speed manual. 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.
It is rated at 18.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 54 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $316.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$6,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. The length is 4.43 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Drive the Viper on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Viper answers the big questions. If the Viper is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$6,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $31.68 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
