Auto loans: the 2008 Buick Terraza
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 Buick Terraza 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. Here is what to know about the 2008 Buick Terraza before buying one.
What to check on the Terraza
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The 3.9L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 37 litres, from its 12.4 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $192.20. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
It is the kind of vehicle that makes a family trip calmer.
Is it right for your trip?
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Terraza first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the Terraza on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting. 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.
Year and trim
Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
