Car financing: the 1996 Dodge Avenger
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1996 Dodge Avenger for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 1996 Dodge Avenger, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 157 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, service brakes and engine and engine cooling. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 10.2 L/100 km: about 31 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Avenger
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Living with the Avenger
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The trunk holds 340 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Avenger for a week and see how it fits your life. If the Avenger is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
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. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
