The 2000 Buick Century for buyers
No 2000 Buick Century is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car 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. Buying the 2000 Buick Century is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Century
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. 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 3.1L 6-cylinder, 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.
Combined fuel use is 11.2 L/100 km: about 34 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $52.08 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The Century in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Length: 4.80 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 481 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Century answers the big questions. Try the Century on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Century tells you more than any review.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
