A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Engine and fuel
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space, size and seats
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Omni for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
One more step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
