Buying the 2012 VPG MV-1

No 2012 VPG MV-1 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. The 2012 VPG MV-1 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

Before you sign for the MV-1

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. 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. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 4.6L 8-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

It is rated at 17.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 52 litres for 300 km. Expect about $26.66 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the MV-1

Being a van, it carries people and their bags without fuss.

Who it is for

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the MV-1 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $266.60 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $26.66 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
