Thinking of buying the 1997 Geo Tracker?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1997 Geo Tracker for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Buying the 1997 Geo Tracker is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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 has 25 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and air bags.
Under the hood
The engine is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Its combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $16.59. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the Tracker is like
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Tracker tells you more than any review.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Which one to look for
Within the 1997 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.
Want a price?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
