The 1986 Dodge Aries: before you buy
No 1986 Dodge Aries 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. This page puts the 1986 Dodge Aries in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and power train. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
Power: the 2.2L 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.
At 9.0 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 27 litres of fuel. Every 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The Aries in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 991 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Aries for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
