GMC's allnew Canyon pickup expands, literally, the concept of the General Motors midsize pickup. Although the truck is marginally shorter than its predecessor, the Sonoma, its about four inches wider inside. That bit of data is significant because it represents GMC's increased attention to comfort in the Canyon while not sacrificing the utility for the things that midsize pickup drivers do most. With the Canyon's distinctive new styling, it won't be confused with its GMC predecessor, the Sonoma. As the first allnew GMC truck in its class for more than a decade, the Canyon is significantly improved over the Sonoma, with a stronger frame and a suspension that's friendlier to the fanny. The Canyon has two new engines, both more powerful than those available in the Sonoma. Both have an inline configuration, one with four cylinders and the other with five. This a true pickup, with a unique frame not shared with any other truck or SUV. The Canyon is roomy and comfortable inside and has a nice, quiet ride quality. Even the fullon offroad model feels remarkably civilized. On the highway, the Canyon feels solid and stable. The optional fivecylinder engine gives it good power, better than competing V6 engines.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2004 GMC Canyon, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2004 GMC Canyon for less money than when it was new. If the 2004 GMC Canyon was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2004 GMC Canyon is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2004 GMC Canyon will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2004 GMC Canyon is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
