Car financing: the 2011 Nissan Versa
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Nissan Versa 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. This page sets out the 2011 Nissan Versa for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), 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 7.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. That works out to about $12.25 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 510 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the Versa suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
Rent the Versa for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Versa first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Versa is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
One more step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
