Buying the 1997 Geo Tracker
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 Geo Tracker; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 1997 Geo Tracker, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the Tracker
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 25 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The 1.6L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. 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.
The combined figure, 10.7 L/100 km, means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
Rent the Tracker for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.
