Buying the 2018 Jeep Compass
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Jeep Compass; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2018 Jeep Compass for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Compass
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Under the hood
It is powered by the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 9.0 L/100 km, means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $139.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Compass suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Space, size and seats
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
A longer test drive
Rent the Compass for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Compass answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
