The 2009 Jeep Commander: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2009 Jeep Commander for sale by us right now. The 2009 Jeep Commander for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the Commander
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 3.7L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The combined figure, 14.7 L/100 km, means roughly 44 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $22.79 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
The Commander in everyday use
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Commander on your commute before you commit to it.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
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. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
One more step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
