Car financing: the 1998 Dodge Avenger
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1998 Dodge Avenger; 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. Before you buy the 1998 Dodge Avenger, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Avenger
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 58 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, air bags and service brakes; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Under the hood
The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 10.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 31 litres. Expect about $15.81 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Avenger makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Size and space
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 340 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Avenger answers the big questions. If the Avenger is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
