Thinking of buying the 2009 Buick Lucerne?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 Buick Lucerne; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2009 Buick Lucerne, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 128 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, fuel/propulsion system and fuel system; have those parts checked. 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.
Engine and fuel
Its powertrain is the 3.9L 6-cylinder 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.
At 11.5 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 35 litres of fuel. A 300 km weekend costs about $53.49 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the Lucerne
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 481 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the Lucerne
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the Lucerne on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Lucerne first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Lucerne for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
