Auto loans: the 2009 Ford Explorer
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 Ford Explorer; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2009 Ford Explorer before buying one.
Before you sign for the Explorer
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 4.6L 8-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 41 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $21.39 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
How big it is
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
A longer test drive
Try the Explorer on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting.
