Thinking of buying the 2007 Dodge Nitro?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2007 Dodge Nitro for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Buying the 2007 Dodge Nitro is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 825 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, fuel system and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 3.7L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 37 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $19.22 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Practical details
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. It measures 4.54 m long by 1.86 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
Rent it for a week first
If the Nitro is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Nitro answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Within the 2007 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel.
Next step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
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 2007 Dodge Nitro from us first.
