Thinking of buying the 1987 Dodge Colt?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1987 Dodge Colt for sale by us right now. Buying the 1987 Dodge Colt is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Colt
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 1.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.6 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $117.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 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 stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 311 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the Colt tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Which one to look for
Within the 1987 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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 $11.78 in fuel.
Still deciding?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
