Car financing: the 2017 Buick Encore
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 Buick Encore for sale by us right now. 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 puts the 2017 Buick Encore in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 90 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, air bags and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 8.1 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $125.60. The EPA estimates US$2,325 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Encore makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Practical details
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. It measures 4.27 m long by 1.77 m wide. Parking on city streets is easy.
Try before you buy
Drive the Encore on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Encore on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
