The 2005 GMC Envoy: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 GMC Envoy for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2005 GMC Envoy, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the Envoy
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 624 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system, electrical system and exterior lighting; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 5.3L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 15.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 45 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $232.50. The EPA estimates US$4,283 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
When the Envoy makes sense
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
Rent the Envoy first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the Envoy on your commute, then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,283 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Get an offer
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 GMC Envoy from us first.
