Thinking of buying the 2010 Dodge Nitro?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2010 Dodge Nitro for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2010 Dodge Nitro, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Specs, explained
Power: the 3.7L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 13.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 39 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.31, and a 300 km weekend about $60.93. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Nitro makes sense
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Room inside
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A longer test drive
Try the Nitro on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Nitro for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Still deciding?
Want to try before you buy? Ask for your dates.
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 2010 Dodge Nitro from us first.
