Thinking of buying the 2007 Dodge Nitro?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2007 Dodge Nitro for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 2007 Dodge Nitro for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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.
What the figures tell you
Power comes from the 3.7L 6-cylinder, driving through a 6-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. Expect about $19.22 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Nitro makes sense
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Practical details
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. NHTSA lists it at 4.54 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Nitro answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel.
