Buying the 1996 Eagle Summit

No 1996 Eagle Summit is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 1996 Eagle Summit is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the Summit

Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about seat belts and steering; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Under the hood

Under the hood: the 1.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.6 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $11.78 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What the Summit is like

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Luggage space is rated at 311 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people who want car handling with extra load space.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Summit for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Summit for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.78 in fuel.

Narrowing it down

Within the 1996 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Want a price?

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

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.
