Buying the 2008 GMC Acadia
No 2008 GMC Acadia 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. Before you buy the 2008 GMC Acadia, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Acadia
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 854 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, electrical system and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and 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.
Plan on about 37 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km. Every 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Acadia in everyday use
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who rents the Acadia
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Drive it on your own roads
If the Acadia is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the Acadia tells you more than any review. A week with the Acadia answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Want a price?
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
