Auto loans: the 2008 Jeep Compass
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 Jeep Compass for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2008 Jeep Compass, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the Compass
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 28 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $14.57 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Compass
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Inside and out
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Compass tells you more than any review. Drive the Compass on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Compass first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel.
Ask us

Rent it for a week before you buy
