The 2006 Jeep Commander: before you buy
No 2006 Jeep Commander is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2006 Jeep Commander, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 1,782 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 3.7L 6-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Rated at 14.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 44 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $227.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who rents the Commander
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Commander first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Commander is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
