The 1997 Dodge Avenger: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 Dodge Avenger; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page helps you judge the 1997 Dodge Avenger before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the Avenger
NHTSA has 83 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, service brakes and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 10.2 L/100 km, means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $158.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Avenger
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. It is 4.84 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
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. If the Avenger is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Year and trim
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting.
