The 2010 Buick Lucerne: before you buy

No 2010 Buick Lucerne is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars.

A buyer's checks

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. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

It runs the 3.9L 6-cylinder, with 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.

The EPA rates it at 11.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 35 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $54.87 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Space, size and seats

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. 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.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2010 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel.
