Car financing: the 2009 Dodge Avenger
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2009 Dodge Avenger for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2009 Dodge Avenger before buying one.
Before you sign for the Avenger
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 67 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain to know here is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 9.8 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $151.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the Avenger on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Avenger for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel.
