The 2002 Dodge Stratus: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Dodge Stratus; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2002 Dodge Stratus before buying one.
Before you sign for the Stratus
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 163 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, suspension and air bags. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 2.4L 4-cylinder and 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.
Its combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $16.59. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 453 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the Stratus makes sense
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Rent the Stratus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Stratus on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Stratus on your commute, then decide.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.
Still deciding?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
