Buying the 2015 Ram 1500
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2015 Ram 1500 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2015 Ram 1500, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the 1500
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. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
It is powered by the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 10.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 30 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $15.66 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$4,075 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the 1500 makes sense
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Size and space
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the 1500 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $156.60 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.66 in fuel.
Ask us
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2015 Ram 1500 from us first.
Ask us about the 2015 Ram 1500
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2015 Ram 1500 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2015 Ram 1500
Does CarmaCars sell the 2015 Ram 1500?
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 2015 Ram 1500 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.
Does the 2015 Ram 1500 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 17 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2015 Ram 1500 cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$4,075 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $3132.00.
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.
