Back up for sale is my extra Dodge Viper GTS.  Yes, extra.  I don't really need two.  My other one (a 96 B/W GTS) is never leaving.  Buy this one and you may find yourself saying the same thing. 

Most ads for Vipers now are by dealers trying to sell you on how amazing the Viper is, it's history, and how theirs was owned by a little old lady who never drove it.  I value your time so let's skip the BS.  You're reading this ad, so I'll assume you already know what the Viper is about and that 33k miles on a 16 year old car is nothing.  Right?  If you want a pristine example or garage queen, this is not the Viper for you.  This one is a "driver".  You won't have to worry about the road wear killing the car's value.  It's seen wear, but not abuse.

Here is the short and sweet on this car:

- 32,721 miles on it.  I am the third owner and only account for about 1,000 miles of that.
- No accidents or major body work that I'm aware of.
- Idles, shifts, and drives fine.
- Good condition overall with typical wear, mostly minor nicks (see pictures).
- No burn marks on exhaust covers.
- For a driver, the dash isn't nicked up like a lot of them.
- Clean and clear title, in hand.
- New Michelin PS2 rear tires, new Powerslot front rotors and Hawk HPS brake pads. New rear Powerslot rotors come with the car (not needed yet). New K&N air filters.
- Gets attention everywhere.

And the short and not so sweet:

- Small nick on driver seat.  Already clear patched.
- Typical road rash on wheels (no/little curbing), and behind the rear tires.
- Rear hatch is de-laminated a little at the latch.  Common.
- Rear is a bit noisy compared to my other Viper.  Likely the pinion bearing.  Could fix it ($400) or replace entire unit with a better one with gears (~$1200).
- Driver side door/window seal pretty worn ($100).
- Hood to bumper gap is slightly larger on passenger side.  Common from opening/closing hood improperly.  Can be adjusted.
- Typical, very slow leak around rear main seal.  Never seen a Gen2 without it.
- Gets attention everywhere.

Other notes:

- I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE FOR YOUR HARLEY, BOAT, OR LAND.
  I want money in my bank account and a clear garage space.
- I have "sold" this car over 4 times now, even collected some deposits, and here it is for sale again.  Please don't waste my time, or yours, if you are not actually able to purchase this car.  Few banks will finance a 16 year old car.
- Shop around first before discussing price.  Look up the book values.  The price is fair and pretty firm.  I may negotiate a little, but I'm not in dire need to sell this car, even with a baby on the way.
- I can send pictures directly via e-mail.  Just ask.  Can also take more pictures upon request.
- $200 from the sale of this car goes to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in your name.  Let's keep some perspective as we haggle over a Viper GTS.

Thanks for looking!

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.

Dodge Hellcat orders on hold due to 'unprecedented demand'

Sun, Mar 15 2015

Want to get your hands on a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger or Charger Hellcat to call your very own? We don't blame you, and you're not alone. According to Motor Authority and confirmed by a spokesperson from Chrysler, Dodge has gotten so many orders for its stable of Hellcats that it simply cannot keep up with demand: "Due to unprecedented demand for the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcats, we are temporarily restricting orders while we validate current orders that are in the system." Put another way, if you're waiting for a Hellcat, your wait is likely to be a lot longer than you'd like. We've reached out to Chrysler to find out how long it might take for a new customer to get a new Hellcat, and we'll update if and when we hear back.
