Buying the 2011 Buick Regal
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Buick Regal for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2011 Buick Regal before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the Regal
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 280 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and power train.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and 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.
It is rated 9.9 L/100 km combined: about 30 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.35, and a 300 km weekend about $46.05. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the Regal
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Regal first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Regal for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the Regal on your commute before you commit to it.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
