if its the car i'm thinking of and i'm sure it is, yes i know the car. the car
was sold from keene dodge in jarrettsville, md. when i was buying my 02 rt/10
i looked at this car first. i was able to test drive it as well and totally go
through the car. keene dodge is a awesome dealership for vipers and their service
department is 5 star. they do all my warranty work and have the same viper tech,
dave, do all the service. i highly reccomend them for any work that would need
to be done by dodge. i also know the salesman and general manager of the
dealership, top notch, very honest. the only reason i did not by the car was
i wanted black interior. the car was very tight when i drove it, in a positive
way and had 400 miles on it at the time. if i can be of any help let me know,
as i live in the area and at the present time they are performing warranty work
on my srt now.

I know a little about the car. I'm pretty sure it was purchased from Keene Dodge in Jarrettsville, MD. It was there for quite a while, and I saw it on the times when I went in for service for the Durango I had. Keene always takes meticulous care of the Vipers in their possession, and the Viper tech (Dave) there is great. The current owner (seller) probably had it about a year (I'm guessing). It's ironic, because I bought the car that your father was bidding on a couple of months ago (Blue Saphire in Needham, MA), and to think that right after I buy it, one exactly like it goes up for sale practically in my back yard. If your father needs any help getting the car checked out, let me know. If he is coming here to pick up the car, he's welcome to contact me.

Thank you guys. He's trying to get ahold of the owner as we speak. He's booked for work this weekend and can't get out of it so my uncle is leaving tomorrow morning with a trailer at 3am hoping to be there around 2pm. He doesn't have anything now like location, etc.

I told him about the water pump issues on 2001. It is still under basic warranty so I wonder if he can take it to a dealer and get it replaced while it is still free.
