Buying the 1999 Dodge Ram
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1999 Dodge Ram; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 1999 Dodge Ram for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Space, size and seats
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 5.81 m. Measure your parking spot or garage first.
Good uses for the Ram
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
If the Ram is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Ram on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Ram answers the big questions.
Money matters
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.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 1999 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
