Buying the 2005 Dodge Sprinter
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Dodge Sprinter for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Thinking about the 2005 Dodge Sprinter? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the Sprinter
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Room inside
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. 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.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Next step
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 2005 Dodge Sprinter from us first.
Ask us about the 2005 Dodge Sprinter
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2005 Dodge Sprinter for you and reply within one business day.

Does CarmaCars sell the 2005 Dodge Sprinter?
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 2005 Dodge Sprinter 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 2005 Dodge Sprinter have recalls?
NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
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.
