Auto loans: the 1994 Buick Roadmaster
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1994 Buick Roadmaster 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. This page helps you judge the 1994 Buick Roadmaster before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the Roadmaster
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 5.7L 8-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 39 litres. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Roadmaster makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Inside and out
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 1,557 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the Roadmaster on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.
