Buying the 2011 GMC Sierra
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 GMC Sierra 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. Here is the 2011 GMC Sierra for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Sierra
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 438 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, unknown or other and structure; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain to know here is the 6.0L 8-cylinder hybrid, with four-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.
A combined rating of 11.2 L/100 km works out to about 34 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space, size and seats
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
Rent it for a week first
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. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Which one to look for
Within the 2011 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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting.
Let us know
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 2011 GMC Sierra from us first.
