Buying the 2009 Buick Enclave
No 2009 Buick Enclave 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. This page sets out the 2009 Buick Enclave for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Enclave
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Specs, explained
It uses the 3.6L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km works out to about 37 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $192.20. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Enclave
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Enclave for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Enclave answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
