The 1989 Eagle Summit for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1989 Eagle Summit; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 1989 Eagle Summit, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the Summit
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
The 1.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 8.4 L/100 km: about 25 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Summit
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
What to expect from the Summit
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 283 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Summit first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1989 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
