Although I was fixed on a new 08 Coupe (Venom Red) on the Westcoast of Canada, I did find another exact same 08 with about 3000 miles, stripes, for about $10K less. It has about 14 months warranty left, exact same spec to a "t", with the adition of white stripes which is what I would have added anyway.
It is at a Dodge dealer and the GM said it's in perfect condition, no accidents ...etc. I sent one of my guys in Montreal to take a look and send back pictures. He did and said it was perfect and it looks perfect in the pics (he has zero background on vipers so it was just a visual look).

The only strange thing the dealer said is he replaced both of the front tires since there might have been a problem with one of them. Not sure exactly at this point as to what was wrong.
-Is this unusual?

I would have to transport it across the country and have a quote from Transporter auto services out of California. Apparently they do this across Canada on a regular basis. Any issues with this company? $2200 tax/insurance included, door to door, covered service.

Last but not least, being that it's at Dodge dealer and full inspected ..etc., do I still need to do a full inspection even with warranty? It's 2800 miles away.

Maybe a Montreal Viper member could do me a great favor and take a look at it?

Sorry for long email but need to pull the trigger on one or the other this week.

Thanks

I'm not sure if there is one close to the Montreal area but I would contact the nearest Viperclub and ask them if they have members close by. Viper owners seem to be very helpful.

An American trucking company can not pick up in Canada and deliver in Canada (interstating). So I would be checking to see if they would be subcontracting the move.

If you do not have a Canadian transporter that you know I could recommend one.
