The 2011 Buick LaCrosse for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Buick LaCrosse; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2011 Buick LaCrosse in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The figures, translated
The 2.4L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with 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.
It is rated at 10.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 31 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $48.36 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 453 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the LaCrosse
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the LaCrosse first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the LaCrosse on your commute before you commit to it.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.12 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $161.20 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Next step
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2011 Buick LaCrosse from us first.
