Buying the 1989 Eagle Premier
No 1989 Eagle Premier 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. This page puts the 1989 Eagle Premier in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Premier
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 2.5L 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 combined figure, 10.7 L/100 km, means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $49.77 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Premier
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Size and space
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 481 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Premier for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
