Buying the 1995 Dodge Stratus
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1995 Dodge Stratus 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. Thinking about the 1995 Dodge Stratus? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Stratus
There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 318 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and power train; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Specs, explained
Power: the 2.4L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 11.2 L/100 km, means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.36 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Stratus
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. NHTSA lists it at 4.73 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Luggage space is 396 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Stratus answers the big questions. If the Stratus is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week with the Stratus answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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.
Ready when you are
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 1995 Dodge Stratus from us first.
