Buying the 1997 Geo Tracker
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 Geo Tracker; 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. Here is the 1997 Geo Tracker for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Tracker
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
It is powered by the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 10.7 L/100 km works out to about 32 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $165.90. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
As a van, it puts space for people and luggage first.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits groups, airport runs with luggage and family trips. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the Tracker tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the Tracker answers more than any brochure.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting.
Which one to look for
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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Ask us
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 Geo Tracker from us first.
