Buying the 2011 Dodge Caliber
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Dodge Caliber 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. The 2011 Dodge Caliber for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 165 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, suspension and engine; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
It is powered by the 2.0L 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.
It is rated at 8.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. Every 100 km costs about $13.64 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Caliber
It suits people who want car handling with extra load space. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What the Caliber is like
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Try the Caliber on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Caliber answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
