Buying the 2018 Dodge Challenger
No 2018 Dodge Challenger is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2018 Dodge Challenger? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Challenger
NHTSA has 75 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and power train. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The 3.6L 6-cylinder does the work, through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
At 10.3 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 31 litres of fuel. A 300 km weekend costs about $47.91 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Challenger
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
The Challenger in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 453 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Challenger for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the Challenger on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.97 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
