The 2010 Dodge Avenger: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2010 Dodge Avenger for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2010 Dodge Avenger for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 163 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, air bags and vehicle speed control. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 2.4L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.8 L/100 km rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $45.57 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Avenger makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Practical details
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the Avenger for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Avenger on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
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 $15.19 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Make a request
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
