    Awesome video brother. I just bought the same car but an 04 with 9k miles. Drove it 400mi home and was worried sick the whole way because I had watched this video beforehand. It did great and I had a blast.

  • @goleafsgo8496
    @goleafsgo8496 2 роки тому +6

    You are going to need to find a solid Dodge dealer hopefully that has a certified Viper mechanic. Have the motor pulled and freshen up all the seals. I would simply replace the tires with new ones and maintain the factory rims. At 30k plus another 5k for the refresh and 20 MPG it's really an affordable very cool ride. Great purchase Randy. 👌

    • @Thanos.m

      Honestly I haven't heart anything more ridiculous than keeping the original tyres it's consumables like in that logic you should also keep the oil coolant etc original

    Vipers are so cool, be careful Randy they are tremendously easy to loose control of (just ask Frazer Crane?). I have a coworker that has owned a first year Viper and they truly are "beasts". I recall him having to replace a 4" piece of coolant hose that ended up costing 1000s of dollars as the motor needed to be pulled? Really nice car Randy so jealous!

  • @waynebell3452
    @waynebell3452 2 роки тому +1

    Randy, you are crazy driving that beautiful hot rod on 20 year old tires. If you had had a blowout, you would've probably got injured or killed but you would've probably totaled that car. Put some new tires on it. Don't be stupid and drive that thing like you did from Chicago with those old tires. Just don't want anything bad to happen to you or anyone around you.

    I was in st. louis last summer, saw quite a bit of homeless actually. St. louis has very interesting architecture. Didn't show the trunk? I'm surprised that tire didn't blow when you got back to OK roads, lol. This may be a stereotype but I think the viper was mostly for old retirees who wanted that 60's nostalgia, might be why there's a good number of good examples out there.

    30,000 dollars for a viper. 6 % state tax 6 % Chicago city tax. 12% In tax’s. That’s 3600 in taxes that’s the only thing crazy about this situation. Hope Randy know about the 6 % Chicago city tax before hand.

    • @goleafsgo8496
      @goleafsgo8496 2 роки тому

      LOL, Josh in Canada and specifically Ontario where I live you pay 13% tax on virtually everything you buy! So you kinda get used to it and factor it into the purchase price almost subconsciously. But you're correct it's insane ......

Anyways beautiful viper and glad you finally broke the seal and grabbed one. 😉👍
