Car financing: the 2011 GMC Canyon
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 GMC Canyon for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2011 GMC Canyon? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 2.9L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.3 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $52.56 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What to expect from the Canyon
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
A longer test drive
Rent the Canyon first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Canyon answers the big questions. A week with the Canyon answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $175.20 at our price setting. 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.
One more step
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 GMC Canyon from us first.
Ask us about the 2011 GMC Canyon
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2011 GMC Canyon for you and reply within one business day.
