The GMC Canyon is GMC's version of the Chevrolet Colorado. It is a regular sized pick up truck with four doors and a smooth handling ride. Compared to other pick up trucks, the Colorado has a more civilized ride and a more accommodating interior.
A 2.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated 175 horsepower comes standard in most models; a 3.5-liter five-cylinder rated 220 horsepower is optional and standard on upper-level models. A five-speed manual transmission is standard with either engine, with a four-speed automatic optional. Regular Cab, Extended Cab, and Crew Cab configurations are available. The vehicle is rated to tow as much as 4,000 pounds, enough for ATVs, watercraft, campers, or light boats. The Canyon Z71 is the off-road model, the new Canyon ZQ8 is the sports model that emphasizes sporty handling, and the SLT version is the leather-and-luxury flagship version.
For 2006, the Canyon has become available is more diverse models, which offer a greater degree of customization.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 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 2006 GMC Canyon for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 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 2006 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 2006 GMC Canyon will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 GMC Canyon is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
