Buying the 1999 Dodge Stratus
No 1999 Dodge Stratus is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. The 1999 Dodge Stratus for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Stratus
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 251 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and steering; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 26 litres, from its 8.7 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $40.47 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Try before you buy
Drive the Stratus on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Stratus answers the big questions.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 1999 Dodge Stratus from us first.
