Thinking of buying the 1981 Dodge Challenger?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1981 Dodge Challenger; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. The 1981 Dodge Challenger for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Challenger for a week and see how it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
