Merkur models

The Merkur for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no Merkur 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. This page helps you judge the Merkur before you buy one anywhere.

A buyer's checks

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. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Rent it for a week first

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. 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.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Start with the model, then compare its years; powertrains and trims change over time. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Make a request

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Merkur from us first.

Buying the Merkur

Does CarmaCars sell the Merkur?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Merkur before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
