Thinking of buying the 2005 Subaru Baja?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2005 Subaru Baja for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2005 Subaru Baja? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
There are 10 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 37 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, fuel system and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km. Expect about $17.36 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
How big it is
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Baja on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Baja for a week and see how it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting.
Want a price?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2005 Subaru Baja from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2005 Subaru Baja for you and reply within one business day.
