Auto loans: the 2012 GMC Acadia
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 GMC Acadia; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. 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 puts the 2012 GMC Acadia in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 296 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, structure and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 3.6L 6-cylinder, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 12.3 L/100 km, which means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $57.21 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Acadia
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
When the Acadia makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Acadia for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the Acadia for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.07 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.
