The 2012 Nissan Quest for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Nissan Quest; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. 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 sets out the 2012 Nissan Quest for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Quest
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 93 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
The 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.3 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $175.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
As a minivan, it puts space for people and luggage first.
Good uses for the Quest
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Quest answers the big questions. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.52 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
