The 2000 Buick Century: before you buy
No 2000 Buick Century is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2000 Buick Century for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 193 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, service brakes and visibility. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 3.1L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.36, and a 300 km weekend about $52.08. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 4.80 m long, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 481 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Century for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Ready to ask?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
