Buying the 2005 Pontiac Wave
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Pontiac Wave for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Pontiac Wave, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-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.
Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.7 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.49, and a 300 km weekend about $40.47. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 340 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Wave suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the Wave on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the Wave tells you more than any review.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Ask us
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
