The 1985 Dodge Aries: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1985 Dodge Aries for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 1985 Dodge Aries, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Aries
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system and seat belts; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and 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 28 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.4 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $43.71 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
What to expect from the Aries
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 991 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Aries for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Aries tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
