The 1998 Dodge Ram Wagon for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1998 Dodge Ram Wagon for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1998 Dodge Ram Wagon, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

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. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Reading the spec sheet

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

What the Ram Wagon is like

Being a car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the Ram Wagon on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Year and trim

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.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
