Car leasing: the 1998 Dodge Avenger
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1998 Dodge Avenger for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. The 1998 Dodge Avenger for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
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. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Under the hood
The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, 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.
A combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km works out to about 31 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
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.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the Avenger answers more than any brochure. Rent the Avenger for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the Avenger on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,900 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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
When you know your dates
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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 1998 Dodge Avenger from us first.
