Thinking of buying the 1985 Dodge Aries?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1985 Dodge Aries for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 1985 Dodge Aries, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 2.2L 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.
The EPA rates it at 9.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 28 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs 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.
When the Aries makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. EPA lists 991 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Rent the Aries for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Aries answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel.
