Premium Trim
If you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped compact SUV with AWD, manageable fuel and ownership costs, and a strong documented maintenance history, this 2017 Buick Encore Premium deserves a look.
This isn't a vehicle we simply washed and put on the lot. It went through our shop at Ridgeline Automotive, where we invested $1,442.75 in current reconditioning before offering it for sale. That included four new tires, four new TPMS sensors, front sway-bar links, wiper blades, a full-synthetic oil service, inspection and road testing, along with correcting missing/loose transmission hardware discovered during inspection.
PREMIUM TRIM + ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
This isn't the base Encore. It's the Encore Premium AWD, combining Buick's more upscale trim with a compact footprint that's easy to live with around town.
CARFAX confirms the Premium trim, 1.4L engine and all-wheel-drive configuration. It also shows 25 service history records, three previous owners, personal use and Colorado as the most recent state of ownership.
For Colorado driving, we especially like the combination of a small SUV footprint and AWD. It's easy to park and maneuver without giving up the higher seating position and year-round capability many SUV buyers want.
$1,442.75 RIDGELINE RECONDITIONING
This Encore went through our comprehensive inspection process before being offered for sale.
Rather than simply noting what it needed, we addressed the items our technicians found.
FOUR NEW KELLY ALL-SEASON TIRES
We installed four new Kelly Edge Touring All-Season tires and mounted and balanced all four.
We also replaced all four TPMS sensors rather than leaving the next owner to deal with aging or non-communicating sensors. The tire and TPMS work alone totaled $880.72.
During the original road test, our technician noted a slight steering-wheel shake consistent with a tire balance issue and a TPMS warning with no pressures displaying. With the tires already due for replacement, we addressed the problem with the new tire package and TPMS sensors rather than passing it along to the buyer.
NEW FRONT SWAY-BAR LINKS
Our undercarriage inspection found the right-front sway-bar link beginning to make noise.
We replaced the front sway-bar control links, using new NAPA components. That repair totaled $219.40.
TRANSMISSION HARDWARE CORRECTED
Our technician also discovered missing/loose transmission hardware during the undercarriage inspection.
Instead of ignoring it because the vehicle still drove, we corrected it.
That's a great example of why we put our inventory on a lift and inspect the underside rather than relying solely on an auction condition report.
THREE NEW BOSCH WIPER BLADES
Our inspection also identified worn wiper blades, so all three were replaced with Bosch wiper blades.
FRESH FULL-SYNTHETIC OIL SERVICE
Before sale, this Encore received our BG-enhanced oil service with:
5W-30 Full Synthetic Dexos Oil
New NAPA Oil Filter
BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
BG MOA Advanced Formula
The vehicle was also road-tested and put through our multipoint safety inspection.
25 CARFAX SERVICE RECORDS
One of the strongest points on this Encore is its documented maintenance history.
CARFAX shows 25 service history records. The most recent owner has had the vehicle in Colorado since 2022, accumulating the majority of its mileage here.
The history shows frequent oil changes through O'Meara GMC and Grease Monkey, including services at approximately 35K, 40K, 46K, 51K, 56K, 62K, 69K, 85K, 92K and 97K miles.
And there are some particularly worthwhile repairs already documented.
IMPORTANT ENGINE-RELATED MAINTENANCE ALREADY DONE
At approximately 60,000 miles, O'Meara GMC performed several significant repairs.
At 60,416 miles, the throttle body was replaced.
At 60,676 miles, the vehicle had the front crankshaft oil seal and valve cover replaced, along with a drivability/performance inspection.
At 60,702 miles, the oil control valve was replaced.
Those are exactly the kinds of service-history details we like to see documented on an older turbocharged vehicle.
The history also shows the battery replaced at 71,000 miles, another oil service at 85,143 miles, an air filter and oil service at 92,169 miles, and another oil change at 97,415 miles in April 2026.
It also passed Colorado emissions at 100,198 miles in June 2026.
CARFAX DAMAGE DISCLOSURE
We believe in being straightforward about vehicle history.
CARFAX shows two minor damage events.
The first occurred in August 2018 and is described as a minor accident involving a moveable object. The second occurred in August 2020 and is listed as minor damage to the front of the vehicle.
CARFAX reports no total loss, no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment and no indication of odometer rollback. It also reports no salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail or lemon title brands and no open recalls reported.
We're happy to show you the complete CARFAX.
WHY THIS ENCORE STANDS OUT
There are plenty of inexpensive used SUVs available. The important question is what happens after you buy one.
With this Encore, you're getting a Premium-trim AWD SUV with just over 102K miles, 25 documented service records, years of Colorado ownership and significant prior engine-related maintenance already documented.
Then Ridgeline put another $1,442.75 into preparing it for its next owner.
Four new tires. Four new TPMS sensors. New front sway-bar links. New Bosch wipers. Fresh full-synthetic oil service. Transmission hardware corrected. Full inspection and road testing.
That's the difference between simply selling a used car and actually reconditioning one for sale.
