Thinking of buying the 1998 Dodge Intrepid?
No 1998 Dodge Intrepid is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 1998 Dodge Intrepid? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Intrepid
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
Power comes from the 2.7L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 10.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 32 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $165.90. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the Intrepid suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Room inside
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 481 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Intrepid on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Narrowing it down
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Over to you
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 1998 Dodge Intrepid from us first.
