Auto loans: the BMW 524td

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the BMW 524td before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the BMW 524td? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Before you sign for the 524td

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

The figures, translated

Fuel use for this model year: Rating on request; heavier trucks and vans are often outside the EPA ratings.

Size and space

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.

When the 524td makes sense

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the 524td for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the 524td tells you more than any review. If the 524td is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

One more step

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.

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 BMW 524td from us first.

Buying the BMW 524td

Does CarmaCars sell the BMW 524td?

CarmaCars rents cars and sells one now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a BMW 524td before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
