The 2008 GMC Acadia: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2008 GMC Acadia for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 sets out the 2008 GMC Acadia for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the Acadia
Owners filed 854 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, electrical system and air bags; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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.
The figures, translated
The 3.6L 6-cylinder is what moves it, 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 37 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $57.66 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Acadia
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Rent it for a week first
If the Acadia is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Acadia for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Acadia answers the big questions.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. 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.
