Thinking of buying the 1985 Dodge 600?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1985 Dodge 600 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 1985 Dodge 600, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 2.2L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $17.36 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 481 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the 600
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Drive the 600 on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
When you know your dates
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1985 Dodge 600 from us first.
