Auto loans: the 1986 Dodge 600
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1986 Dodge 600 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 1986 Dodge 600, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about tires, unknown or other and fuel system; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The 2.2L 4-cylinder, paired with a 3-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 10.7 L/100 km combined: about 32 litres every 300 km. 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.
What to expect from the 600
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 481 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Rent the 600 for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the 600 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
