Buying the 2009 Dodge Caliber
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2009 Dodge Caliber for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 2009 Dodge Caliber for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Caliber
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
It runs the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with 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.
The EPA rates it at 8.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $40.47 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Caliber
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
The Caliber in everyday use
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Its 538 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Try the Caliber on your commute, then decide. Drive the Caliber on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Caliber answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting.
