Buying the 2012 Dodge Durango
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2012 Dodge Durango 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. Here is what to know about the 2012 Dodge Durango before buying one.
Before you sign for the Durango
Owners filed 640 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. 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. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 12.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 38 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $58.14 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Durango
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
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.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Durango for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.38 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $193.80 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Let us know
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
