The 1998 Dodge Intrepid: before you buy
No 1998 Dodge Intrepid 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. Here is what to know about the 1998 Dodge Intrepid before buying one.
What to check on the Intrepid
Owners filed 377 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and power train; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.7L 6-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.
Its combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.59 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Intrepid
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 481 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the Intrepid makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Intrepid answers the big questions. A week with the Intrepid answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1998 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
