The 2016 Chevrolet Traverse for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Chevrolet Traverse for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Reading the spec sheet
The 3.6L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 40 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.4 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.77, and a 300 km weekend about $62.31. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
What to expect from the Traverse
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Traverse for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Traverse for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Traverse on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.77 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Let us know
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
