Thinking of buying the 2000 Dodge Stratus?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Dodge Stratus; 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. This page sets out the 2000 Dodge Stratus for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 10.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 32 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.59 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the Stratus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Stratus for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
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.
When you know your dates
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2000 Dodge Stratus from us first.
