The 2016 Buick Enclave for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Buick Enclave for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2016 Buick Enclave is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Enclave
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 13.4 L/100 km combined: about 40 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $207.70. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the Enclave suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What the Enclave is like
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Enclave on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Enclave on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Enclave tells you more than any review.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.
Your move
