Auto loans: the 1997 Dodge Avenger
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1997 Dodge Avenger 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. This page sets out the 1997 Dodge Avenger for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Avenger
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 83 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Specs, explained
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $47.43 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Avenger
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Living with the Avenger
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 4.84 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the Avenger tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,900 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.
