The 2013 Dodge Challenger for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 Dodge Challenger 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. This page helps you judge the 2013 Dodge Challenger before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the Challenger
NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
The 3.6L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 11.3 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.52, and a 300 km weekend about $52.56. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
How big it is
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 453 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Challenger tells you more than any review. Rent the Challenger first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2013 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.52 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Your move
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
