Car financing: the 2005 Pontiac Wave
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Pontiac Wave 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. Here is what to know about the 2005 Pontiac Wave before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
The 1.6L 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 combined figure, 8.7 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $13.49 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Wave suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Wave on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Wave answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Ask us
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
