Buying the Pontiac Phoenix

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no Pontiac Phoenix 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. Thinking about the Pontiac Phoenix? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Recalls and complaints

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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The figures, translated

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Who the Phoenix suits

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

The Phoenix in everyday use

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.

Drive it on your own roads

A test week in the Phoenix tells you more than any review. Try the Phoenix on your commute, then decide. A week with the Phoenix answers more than any brochure.

Which one to look for

The years table on this page shows where the Phoenix changed. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Ready when you are

Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Pontiac Phoenix from us first.

Buying the Pontiac Phoenix

Does CarmaCars sell the Pontiac Phoenix?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Pontiac Phoenix before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
