Buying the 2002 Dodge Stratus
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Dodge Stratus; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2002 Dodge Stratus for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Stratus
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. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
The 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 10.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 32 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $16.59, and a 300 km weekend about $49.77. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the Stratus suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
How big it is
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 453 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Stratus answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Ready to ask?
