Buying the 2012 Dodge Journey
No 2012 Dodge Journey 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. Before buying the 2012 Dodge Journey, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Journey
NHTSA lists 6 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. Owners filed 376 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
The 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 10.8 L/100 km works out to about 32 litres per 300 km. Expect about $16.74 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Room inside
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
A longer test drive
A test week in the Journey tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Journey for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
