The 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Before you buy the 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Avtech SC / M12
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain to know here is the 5.7L 12-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 26.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 78 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $45.68, and a 300 km weekend about $137.04. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$9,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Space and size
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
A longer test drive
If the Avtech SC / M12 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Avtech SC / M12 on your commute, then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Within the 1997 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $456.80 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Ready when you are
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
