The 1991 Buick Roadmaster for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1991 Buick Roadmaster for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 1991 Buick Roadmaster for buyers, in plain words.

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system, latches/locks/linkages and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain to know here is the 5.0L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Rated at 13.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 41 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.39, and a 300 km weekend about $64.17. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Inside and out

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The length is 5.48 m. Measure your parking spot or garage first. Its 1,557 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Try before you buy

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Roadmaster answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting.
