The 1996 Eagle Summit for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1996 Eagle Summit 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. Buying the 1996 Eagle Summit is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Summit
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about seat belts and steering.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 1.5L 4-cylinder and 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.
Rated at 7.6 L/100 km combined, it needs around 23 litres for a 300 km round trip. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $35.34 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Summit
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 311 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Summit suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Summit tells you more than any review. Rent the Summit for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Summit on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel.
Year and trim
Within the 1996 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Your move
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 1996 Eagle Summit from us first.
