Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 128 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, fuel/propulsion system and fuel system. 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.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 3.9L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 11.5 L/100 km works out to about 35 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.83 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,275 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 481 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Lucerne on your commute, then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel.
