Thinking of buying the 2012 GMC Yukon?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 GMC Yukon; 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. Before buying the 2012 GMC Yukon, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Yukon
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by 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.
Plan on about 33 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.1 L/100 km. Every 100 km costs about $17.21 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
What the Yukon is like
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the Yukon on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
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. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
