The 2011 Buick Regal for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Buick Regal for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page helps you judge the 2011 Buick Regal before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the Regal
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo 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.
The EPA rates it at 9.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 30 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.35, and a 300 km weekend about $46.05. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Regal makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Living with the Regal
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the Regal first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the Regal on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Year and trim
Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $153.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Make a request
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
