The 2008 GMC Envoy for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 GMC Envoy for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2008 GMC Envoy, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 77 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, exterior lighting and electronic stability control (esc). Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
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.
Fuel use is rated 13.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 41 litres. Every 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
If the Envoy is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Envoy first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the Envoy tells you more than any review.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Ask us
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 2008 GMC Envoy from us first.
