Car lifespans / GMC
How long do GMC cars last?
GMC models average about 230,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The Savana Cargo leads at an estimated 280,000 miles, and the Terrain is lowest at 185,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.

What the difference is worth
Take two used GMCs, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the Savana Cargo has 180,000 miles left, or $0.044 per mile. The Terrain has 85,000 left, or $0.094 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
See what a car really costs
Divide a car's price by the miles it has left and you get its cost per remaining mile. The free Carpool extension does this on every car you view on Facebook Marketplace, or you can score one by hand with the calculator.
