The 2004 Dodge Stratus for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2004 Dodge Stratus for sale by us right now. Buying the 2004 Dodge Stratus is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 148 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, engine and engine cooling and air bags. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Under the hood
It uses the 2.4L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.8 L/100 km rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.19 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 453 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Stratus tells you more than any review.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
