Thinking of buying the 2009 Buick Enclave?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2009 Buick Enclave for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2009 Buick Enclave, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the Enclave
Owners filed 220 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The 3.6L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 37 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $19.22 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Enclave
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Who the Enclave suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Enclave for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Enclave first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Questions first?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2009 Buick Enclave from us first.
Ask us about the 2009 Buick Enclave
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2009 Buick Enclave for you and reply within one business day.

Does the 2009 Buick Enclave have recalls?
NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2009 Buick Enclave cost in fuel a year?

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.
