Thinking of buying the 2005 Dodge Durango?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Dodge Durango 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. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Dodge Durango, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Durango
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The figures, translated
Power comes from the 3.7L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 14.7 L/100 km: about 44 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $68.37 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Durango
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Inside and out
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Durango on your commute, then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.79 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Ready to ask?

Rent it for a week before you buy
