Thinking of buying the 1997 GMC Sonoma?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 GMC Sonoma; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1997 GMC Sonoma before buying one.
What to check on the Sonoma
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 111 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, visibility and air bags; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
Power comes from the 2.2L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 31 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.2 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.81, and a 300 km weekend about $47.43. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Sonoma suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What the Sonoma is like
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Sonoma first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Sonoma is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
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 $15.81 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Let us know
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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 1997 GMC Sonoma from us first.
