Thinking of buying the 2009 Dodge Challenger?
No 2009 Dodge Challenger is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2009 Dodge Challenger in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 133 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, power train and engine. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 3.5L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 35 litres. That works out to about $18.29 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The Challenger in everyday use
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. It is 5.02 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the Challenger suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Try before you buy
Rent the Challenger first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Challenger tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
