Thinking of buying the 2008 Chevrolet Express?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 Chevrolet Express for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2008 Chevrolet Express? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Recalls and complaints

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Practical details

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Express for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

Still deciding?

Want to try the model first? Send a request with your dates.

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 2008 Chevrolet Express from us first.

Buying the 2008 Chevrolet Express

Does CarmaCars sell the 2008 Chevrolet Express?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a 2008 Chevrolet Express before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Does the 2008 Chevrolet Express have recalls?

NHTSA lists 11 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
