The 1997 Dodge Avenger for buyers

A buyer's checks
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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 83 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, service brakes and air bags.
Specs, explained
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Who rents the Avenger
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Practical details
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The body is 4.84 m long and 1.74 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Avenger tells you more than any review. Try the Avenger on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
