2012 marks the fifth year of production for the Buick Enclave, and this full-size crossover SUV is still running strong. Only a few small changes have been made since the previous model year, including a completely new way of naming trims. The Enclave competes with other crossovers such as the Volvo XC90 and the Acura MDX.

You’ll find a 288-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 270 pounds-feet of torque under the hood of all 2012 Buick Enclaves. All trims have a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes. The Enclave has 115 cubic feet of cargo volume and can tow up to 2,000 pounds, making it a luxurious yet versatile vehicle. Four-wheel drive is available for all trim levels.

The Enclave’s V-6 engine takes regular unleaded fuel and is rated at 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, a solid rating for an SUV of its size. Equipping the Enclave with four-wheel drive drops the ratings to 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.

You can’t miss the Enclave with its massive chrome grille and HID xenon projector headlights. 19-inch all-season tires are standard, but you can opt for 20-inch all-season tires with chrome-clad aluminum rims. Upgrading to a Premium Group trim will get you articulating headlamps that turn as the car does and power-folding, heated side mirrors. All trims of the Enclave feature a rear power lift gate.

The 2012 Enclave offers a monstrous 154 cubic feet of passenger volume, giving everyone in the family enough space. Second row captain chairs are standard, but can be swapped out with a bench that pushes seating capacity to eight. Some of the few new features in this year’s Enclave are a leather/wood gear shift knob and an accessory power outlet. Bluetooth®, cruise control, OnStar®, satellite radio, and a universal home remote are all standard features. The optional Bose® sound system with a whopping 10 speakers offers superior sound quality and volume, while the also optional navigation system ensures you’ll always know where you’re going.

The Enclave is equipped with Buick’s “All-around air bag system” that includes frontal air bags, side-impact air bags, and side curtain air bags in all rows. OnStar® offers a plethora of safety features ranging from automatic crash response to remote door unlock. Brake assist and hill assist are two new safety features in the 2012 Enclave.

At the end of the day, the Enclave offers power, comfort, and utility with ease. Keep in mind that all of this comes at a price, and base trims of this crossover start at over $36,000. The 2012 Buick Enclave is a solid luxury SUV and makes a great family vehicle.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
