Comfortable, but get extended warranty
By JL 91 Cadillac | on 7/4/2026 9:55:16 PM
Our 2018 Buick Encore Preferred 2 is a very nice riding quiet vehicle. It was purchased used to replace a GMC Envoy which we really loved, but the rust issues were becoming severe. This vehicle was the affordable option with very low miles .All things considered it has held up well, no major issues. A problem spot is the module for the AWD which seems to need to be replaced yearly. It is covered by the warranty so I think we will only keep it as long as the warranty is in effect. Both rear springs needed to be replaced this year, at 50K miles as they cracked and broke. It is very light, so it can be challenging in the snow and bad weather ( Is a little better with the new Michelin tires, but you still need to be careful). All in all, it is doing what we need it to do, at a price we could afford, but at the end of the warranty we will be looking to replace it with a heavier vehicle (like a pre-owned GMC Acadia or a Buick Envision AWD). We received a notice from GM that they would replace the turbo if it goes bad, as an as-needed recall,but so far we are doing ok with it, but we do allow it to cool down for a few minutes before we turn the engine off. We change the oil and do the maintence through the dealer, oil changes are at 3K miles so that might be helping it.… - 4.0

Extended warranty is highly recommended because you will have several costly repairs in your future.…

Advertised Pricing:
The most conspicuously advertised price is the selling price available to all retail customers and includes dealer discounts, manufacturer rebates and incentives available to all retail customers, and all mandatory dealer charges (such as documentation, processing or dealer handling fees), dealer-installed accessories, and dealer-added equipment included with the vehicle. Advertised price excludes applicable taxes, title, registration/license fees, and other government-imposed charges as permitted by applicable state law. Conditional incentives or offers for which not all customers qualify, such as military, college graduate, loyalty, conquest, trade-assist, finance-company, or lease-specific offers, are not included in the advertised price unless clearly identified separately. Advertised price expires at 11:59 PM on the date shown. Price and availability are subject to change before a purchase agreement is signed if the vehicle is sold, reserved, or otherwise becomes unavailable, if applicable manufacturer incentives change, expire, or are no longer available, or if a bona fide pricing, rebate, equipment, option, or data-feed error is identified and corrected.
Additional optional products, accessories, protection packages, service contracts, maintenance plans, GAP, or other voluntary items may be offered at the time of sale. These items are not required to purchase the vehicle and will increase the transaction price only if selected and agreed to by the customer.
Trade payoff offers do not eliminate negative equity. Any amount owed on a trade-in in excess of its actual cash value may be added to the new transaction, subject to approved credit.

Please confirm availability, vehicle status, applicable incentives, equipment, options, and the vehicle's Monroney/window sticker if applicable, with the dealership before purchase. Vehicle photos are for illustration purposes only unless identified as photos of the actual vehicle.
Inventory listings may include vehicles currently in stock, in transit, in production, or available by dealer trade, subject to availability. Recently sold or reserved vehicles may remain visible temporarily due to data-feed timing. Vehicle status should be confirmed with the dealership.
