Buying the 1997 Dodge Ram Van
No 1997 Dodge Ram Van is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1997 Dodge Ram Van, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Ram Van
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
If the Ram Van is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Ram Van for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Ram Van answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Your move
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1997 Dodge Ram Van from us first.
