Buying the 2008 Dodge Viper
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2008 Dodge Viper; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2008 Dodge Viper, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Viper
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 8.4L 10-cylinder with 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.
It is rated 14.7 L/100 km combined: about 44 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $25.73 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Space, size and seats
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Viper on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the Viper tells you more than any review.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $257.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Questions first?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 Dodge Viper from us first.
