The 2007 Buick Rainier: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2007 Buick Rainier for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2007 Buick Rainier for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Rainier
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 38 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system, electrical system and exterior lighting; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
Under the hood: the 5.3L 8-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 41 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.8 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $213.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Who it is for
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Rainier first, and buy only if it fits your life.
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$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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.
