The 2008 Buick Enclave: before you buy
No 2008 Buick Enclave is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2008 Buick Enclave in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 536 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and steering; have those parts checked. 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.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 3.6L 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.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $57.66 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Try before you buy
Rent the Enclave for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Enclave first, and buy only if it fits your life.
What it costs to run
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. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
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. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
