The numbers in plain words

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

What to expect from the Aries

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the Aries tells you more than any review. Rent the Aries first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Ask us

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.

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 1982 Dodge Aries from us first.
