Auto loans: the 2001 Dodge Neon

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Dodge Neon for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 puts the 2001 Dodge Neon in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the Neon

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 151 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and service brakes; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Specs, explained

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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 at 9.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 27 litres. That works out to about $13.95 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who rents the Neon

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.

Inside and out

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Try the Neon on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Neon tells you more than any review.

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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
