Buying the 2018 Jeep Compass
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Jeep Compass for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2018 Jeep Compass, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 946 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and unknown or other. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.0 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 27 litres of fuel. At our price setting, it costs about $13.95 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Compass makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Practical details
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Try before you buy
Try the Compass on your commute, then decide. Rent the Compass for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Compass answers the big questions.
Choosing the right one
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. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
