Buying is a great way for car buyers to save a lot of money on their purchases. Plus, there are plenty of used cars in , so most car buyers won’t have to compromise on what kind of car they want. As far as the three-row segment goes, one model dominates the list of used cars costing less than $15,000.
The Buick Enclave has three spots on the list
recently compiled a list of the most used three-row SUVs under $15,000. There was a three-way tie for eighth through tenth place between the 2015 Nissan Rogue, 2013 Chevy Traverse, and 2012 Toyota Highlander. All three SUVs earned an overall score of 8.4 out of 10, although the Traverse was the cheapest as it started at around $9,500.
it was the cheapest of all as it started at around $11,500.
The first three options, however, were dominated by the Enclave, which claimed two out of three spots. The 2009 Toyota 4Runner finished in second place. That meant the Enclave had three top-five appearances.
2014 Buick Enclave
The 2014 version of the Enclave starts at just over $13,000, and some used car buyers have paid just over $15,000 for theirs. This version of the Enclave was great at the time, providing drivers with exactly what they wanted from a . Just as with the , the Enclave comfortably seated seven passengers.
Its 3.6-liter V6 engine had 288 hp, but it was thirsty as it allowed the Buick to get only an estimated 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, for a combined 21 mpg. Buick also gave the Enclave a “luxury interior,” and it was big and roomy, too. With the seats folded, owners had access to 115.2 cu. feet of cargo space, which is more than most other SUVs offer.
2012 Buick Enclave
This version of the Enclave is the last iteration before Buick gave the SUV a mid-cycle refresh. As such, it bears many similarities to the 2014 and 2013 model years, but there are some major differences as well. The engine is the same, as are the fuel economy and cargo capacity of the Enclave.
That said, that mid-cycle refresh gave the Enclave many interior cabin upgrades, so this version of the SUV is missing out. However, it does mean the 2012 Enclave will be more affordable. It starts at just over $9,000 and car buyers are unlikely to pay more than $10,000 for this used SUV. Additionally, this version of the Buick has an overall score of 8.6 out of 10.
2013 Buick Enclave
The best affordable used SUV with three rows of seats is the 2013 version of the Buick Enclave. It starts at around $12,500, and some prospective owners could pay as much as $14,000 for theirs. It has the same specs as the 2012 and 2014 versions of the SUV, but the 2013 model year was when Buick gave the SUV an update.
Therefore, its cabin is better than before and comes with new standard features, such as a rear view camera. It also has an overall score of 9 out of 10.
