Buying the 2002 Dodge Durango

No 2002 Dodge Durango 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. Before you buy the 2002 Dodge Durango, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

What to check on the Durango

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

What the figures tell you

Power: the 4.7L 8-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Combined fuel use is 15.7 L/100 km: about 47 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $243.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,450 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Good uses for the Durango

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

A longer test drive

Rent the Durango for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Durango for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$4,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $24.34 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Still deciding?

Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
