Lease takeover: the 2011 Dodge Nitro
No 2011 Dodge Nitro 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. Buying the 2011 Dodge Nitro is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 122 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and engine; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 3.7L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 13.0 L/100 km, means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $201.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space, size and seats
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Nitro answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Questions first?
