Thinking of buying the 1991 Dodge Shadow?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1991 Dodge Shadow for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 1991 Dodge Shadow for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 5 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 91 complaints with NHTSA, most often about seats, air bags and structure; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 9.4 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $145.70 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 4.35 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Shadow suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
Drive the Shadow on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the Shadow answers more than any brochure. If the Shadow is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 1991 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Want a price?
