The 2009 Jeep Compass for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2009 Jeep Compass for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2009 Jeep Compass for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the Compass
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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.
Specs, explained
The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 9.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 28 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.57. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Compass
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Size and space
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Compass first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Compass for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a 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 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Ask us
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
