NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Under the hood
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 31 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.2 L/100 km combined rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $47.43 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Sebring
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Size and space
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Sebring tells you more than any review. Try the Sebring on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sebring answers the big questions.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 1998 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Ask us
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
