Car leasing: the 1987 Dodge Shadow
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1987 Dodge Shadow 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. This page helps you judge the 1987 Dodge Shadow before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. In money, 1,000 km costs about $145.70 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Shadow
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Space, size and seats
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 396 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Shadow on your commute, then decide. A week with the Shadow answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Shadow answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel.
