Thinking of buying the 2006 Jeep Commander?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2006 Jeep Commander; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2006 Jeep Commander in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Commander
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 3.7L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Its combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 44 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $227.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Commander
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Living with the Commander
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Commander tells you more than any review. Rent the Commander for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
