The 1998 Dodge Durango for buyers
No 1998 Dodge Durango is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 1998 Dodge Durango, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Durango
Owners filed 965 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, power train and service brakes; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 4 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. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The 5.2L 8-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Fuel use is rated 18.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 54 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $28.06 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits groups, airport runs with luggage and family trips.
Space, size and seats
As a van, it puts space for people and luggage first. It is 4.91 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Durango answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Which one to look for
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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $280.60 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $28.06 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Make a request
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
