purchasing a new 2006 vert

[SBMIANO]

I am about to purchase a 2006 Viper convert. from a dealership in NY. when I looked at the car a started it everything seemed fine. After a test Drive a loud chatter was comming from the engine. Sounds like Lifters chattering. It is very loud and docent sound normal.

After I pointed it out to the GM and the mechanic, he said that there is air in the lifters and it will go away. Not wanted to confront him I tt the GM and said I was not buying the car until this was checked out. He called Chry. and they said that sometimes when A Viper sits for a long time that carbon builds up. The also said one of the cylindeers was misfiring. They hooked it up to a computer.

Chrys. said the would send out some fluid that they want them to put in the oil, run the car and drain the oil and this would solve the problem.

I am obviously very hesiatnt to purchase this brand new vehicle with 200 mi.

What is my best coarse of action to find out whats up

I FOUND A RED 2006 COUPE ON EBAY WITH STOCK POLISHED RIMS ( THE SAME RIMS THAT CAME ON THE 2003). I SENT A EMAIL TO THE DODGE DEALER WHO REPLIED BACK TO ME THAT THEY WOULD SELL IT FOR A REDUCED PRICE. WHEN I EMAILED BACK ASKING WHY THE MSRP HAD UPGRADED WHEELS THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND. IT WAS A DODGE DEALER IN NEW YORK AND THEY WERE REPRESENTING THE CAR TO BE NEW BUT MAY HAVE 100-200 MILES AS IT HAS BEEN OUT TO DEALER SHOWS. I WOULD NOT BUY FROM A NEW CAR DEALER WHO TAKES FACTORY EQUIPMENT OFF . I THINK THERE IS MORE TO THE STORY HERE ( BEWARE BUYING CARS ON EBAY ) IF IT SEEMS TO CHEAP THERE IS SOMTIMES A GOOD REASON IT IS.....

So, have you called Chuck Tator or Bill Pemberton at Woodhouse? They can direct you to the BEST buying experience, as evidenced by others' opinions...let us know what you decide to get...and hey, ANY Viper should be looked over VERY carefully before buying.
Good luck ~juli~
