The 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12 before buying one.
What to check on the Avtech SC / M12
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. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The engine is the 5.7L 12-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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.
A combined rating of 26.1 L/100 km works out to about 78 litres per 300 km. Expect about $45.68 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$9,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
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.
What the Avtech SC / M12 is like
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
A longer test drive
Rent the Avtech SC / M12 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$9,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
When you know your dates
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 1997 Vector Avtech SC / M12 from us first.
