The 1994 Buick Roadmaster for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1994 Buick Roadmaster; this page helps you judge it 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 1994 Buick Roadmaster for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the Roadmaster
Owners filed 85 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 5.7L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 39 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.1 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $68.79 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 1,557 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Roadmaster answers more than any brochure.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.
