The 2004 GMC Sonoma for buyers

No 2004 GMC Sonoma 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. Buying the 2004 GMC Sonoma is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Recalls and complaints

Engine and fuel

It uses the 4.3L 6-cylinder and four-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

Its combined rating is 15.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 47 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $24.34 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.

Is it right for your trip?

It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

A longer test drive

Drive the Sonoma on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Sonoma for a week and see how it fits your life.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $24.34 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Year and trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
