Thinking of buying the 2000 Dodge Viper?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 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 2000 Dodge Viper, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the Viper
NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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.
Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: 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.
Its combined rating is 16.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 50 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $29.40 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Good uses for the Viper
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
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, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
The cost of driving it
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$5,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
When you know your dates
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
