Adventure Awaits: The Charm of a Used Buick

Smooth Performance

Long road trips are more enjoyable with a Buick’s reliable performance. With a used model, you can choose a vehicle that’s had time to prove itself as a vehicle with controlled handling.

Plenty of older Buicks have powerful V6 engines. For example, the 2020 Enclave with its 3.6-liter V6 engine and a responsive nine-speed automatic transmission. Alternatively, the 2019 LaCrosse is a solid sedan. This option also has a proven V6 engine that’s fun to drive.

Excellent Fuel Economy

Your road trips will include fewer stops at the gas station with a fuel-efficient model. In the 2019 LaCrosse, you’ll have a V6 engine that averages 31 miles per gallon. There’s also a hybrid powertrain that averages an impressive 38 miles per gallon.

Quiet Ride

Buick’s QuietTuning Technology is a favorite feature for drivers who love a peaceful experience behind the wheel. Buick’s top engineers have created features like the acoustic laminated windshields that reduce wind noise. They have also studied the specific frequencies of the noise made by their engines. They have added active noise cancellation technologies specifically targeted to these frequencies to deliver a whisper-quiet ride.

Spacious Interiors

Buick has a reputation for carefully designing vehicles with a generous distribution of space. In the Enclave, you’ll have three rows of seats with space for five carry-on bags behind the comfortable third row. In the LaCrosse, you’ll have space for six carry-on bags in the trunk. The folding rear seat gives you even more flexibility in this Buick sedan.

Luxury Features on a Budget

Purchasing a pre-owned Buick can often stretch your budget to higher trims with more upscale finishings. In the LaCrosse sedan, you’ll find wood trim, satin-chromed trim, and faux-leather seats in the base model. The front row’s power-adjustable seats are comfortable for long road trips. In the Essence trim, the front row comes heated for enhanced comfort.

Advanced Driver Assistance Technology

Buick was quick to add incredible driving assistance technology to their vehicles. This means you can find pre-owned models with the features that new buyers are still looking for today. Desirable features you can look for in a used model include forward collision alert, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring.
