The 1987 Dodge Shadow: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1987 Dodge Shadow; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 1987 Dodge Shadow for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 12 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system, electrical system and engine and engine cooling. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 2.2L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.
Rated at 9.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 28 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14.57, and a 300 km weekend about $43.71. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 396 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
