The 2006 Dodge Viper for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2006 Dodge Viper for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2006 Dodge Viper in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The engine is the 8.3L 10-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and 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.
Rated at 18.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 54 litres for a 300 km round trip. Expect about $31.68 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$6,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.46 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
Who rents the Viper
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Try before you buy
A week with the Viper answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Viper for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
What it costs to run
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $316.80 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Send a request
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
