A buyer's checks
Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, service brakes and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. 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.
Engine and fuel
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who rents the Durango
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
How big it is
Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Durango on your commute, then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Durango on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 1997 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
