Buying the Pontiac Tempest
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the Pontiac Tempest for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the Pontiac Tempest for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Tempest
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who rents the Tempest
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Inside and out
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Try before you buy
A week with the Tempest answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Tempest first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
The years table on this page shows where the Tempest changed. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Want a price?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 Pontiac Tempest from us first.
Ask us about the Pontiac Tempest
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Pontiac Tempest for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Pontiac Tempest
Does CarmaCars sell the Pontiac Tempest?
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 Pontiac Tempest 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.
