The 2006 Dodge Durango: before you buy
No 2006 Dodge Durango is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2006 Dodge Durango before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the Durango
There are 9 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
It runs the 3.7L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
A combined rating of 14.7 L/100 km works out to about 44 litres per 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $227.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Who the Durango suits
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.79 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $227.90 at our price setting.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
