Thinking of buying the 1998 Dodge Neon?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1998 Dodge Neon for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 1998 Dodge Neon for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. 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 339 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, air bags and structure; have those parts checked.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 8.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.56, and a 300 km weekend about $37.68. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 311 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the Neon makes sense
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.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Neon tells you more than any review. If the Neon is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
One more step
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 Neon from us first.
