Thinking of buying the 2016 Buick LaCrosse?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Buick LaCrosse for sale by us right now. The 2016 Buick LaCrosse for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid; drive: front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 8.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 25 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $128.70 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
A longer test drive
Rent the LaCrosse first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the LaCrosse for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $128.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Questions first?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2016 Buick LaCrosse from us first.
