Thinking of buying the 1989 Eagle Premier?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1989 Eagle Premier for sale by us right now. Buying the 1989 Eagle Premier is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Premier
NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 67 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility, engine and engine cooling and electrical system. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 2.5L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 10.7 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 32 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $16.59 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Premier
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 481 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
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 Premier answers the big questions. A week with the Premier answers more than any brochure.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
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.
Still deciding?
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
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 1989 Eagle Premier from us first.
