The 2017 Jeep Compass: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Jeep Compass for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2017 Jeep Compass before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the Compass
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. 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.
The figures, translated
Its 2.4L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 9.0 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 27 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $139.50 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Compass
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Compass answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Compass answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
