Buying the 1997 Ford Probe
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1997 Ford Probe for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 1997 Ford Probe for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the Probe
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 9.4 L/100 km combined: about 28 litres every 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.57 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 538 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who rents the Probe
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the Probe on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Ready when you are
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
