New or certified pre-owned Buick Enclave: which fits Oklahoma City families?

Choose a new Enclave if you want the current design and the factory warranty from the first day. Choose a certified pre-owned Enclave if you want a lower price with a certified warranty behind it. Bob Howard Buick GMC on Broadway Ext sells both to Oklahoma City families.

Price, warranty and the features your family needs decide most of the choice. Oklahoma taxes and fees apply to either one, so they belong in the math too.

Buy a new Enclave for the latest design or a certified one for less

A new Enclave gives you the factory warranty from the first day. A certified pre-owned Enclave is the route to a lower price, with a certified warranty behind it.

We sell new Buick and GMC models, and the Enclave is one of them. Choosing between new and certified comes down to whether you want the newest car with full factory coverage, or a lower price on a car that has already started its life with an owner.

What does a new Buick Enclave cost next to a certified one?

The new price is published. Buick lists the 2026 Enclave Preferred at $46,400 MSRP and the Sport Touring at $49,900 MSRP. Those are the numbers to set against a certified car’s asking price.

Depreciation is the part of a used price that works for you. iSeeCars’ 2026 5-Year Depreciation Study, based on over 950,000 five-year-old vehicles sold from March 2025 to February 2026, found average 5-year depreciation at 41.8% (iSeeCars, 2026). A buyer who starts with a car that has already lost part of that value pays for less of the loss.

Running costs are a separate line. The EPA’s certification record for the 2026 Enclave lists the front-wheel-drive model at 22 mpg combined, with a fuel cost of $2,850 a year. The all-wheel-drive model is rated 21 mpg combined, with a fuel cost of $2,950 a year. The difference is $100 a year in fuel.

What warranty comes with a new Enclave and a certified one?

A new 2026 Enclave carries a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 6-year/100,000-mile corrosion warranty, whichever comes first, according to Buick’s published terms.

Certified used Buicks come through GM’s CarBravo program. A CarBravo vehicle under 10 model years old with less than 100,000 miles carries 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty coverage, whichever comes first, with no deductible (CarBravo, 2026). Each of those vehicles also gets a 126-point inspection (CarBravo, 2026).

The gap is clear. A new Enclave’s powertrain coverage runs five years or 60,000 miles. CarBravo’s bumper-to-bumper coverage runs 12 months or 12,000 miles.

How do you value a trade-in and apply for Enclave financing online?

Enter your trade-in offer amount in the payment calculator, so you can see how your trade affects the monthly figure before you visit.

A secure finance application can be completed online. Financing is the norm on new cars. More than 80 percent of new car buyers financed in Q3 2025, against roughly 35 percent of used car buyers (Experian, 2025). Leases on new Buick and GMC models are available here too, next to financing for new and pre-owned cars.

What Oklahoma taxes and fees apply to a new or used Enclave?

Oklahoma charges a motor vehicle excise tax on a purchase, and the rate depends on whether the vehicle is new or used. For a new vehicle the tax is 3.25% of the value. For a used vehicle it is $20 on the first $1,500 of value plus 3.25% of the rest (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Section 2103, 2026).

A second state tax sits on top of that. Under 68 O.S. Section 1355(2), the sales tax is 1.25% of gross receipts, figured on the difference between the trade-in’s value and the sale price when there is a trade-in (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Section 1355(2), 2023).

Fees are separate. Service Oklahoma lists a $11.00 vehicle title fee and a $17.00 transfer fee, plus a $1.50 insurance fee and a $4.00 VIN inspection fee (Service Oklahoma, 2026). Its standard full-year registration fee is $96.00 in the first to fourth year of registration (Service Oklahoma, 2026).

Say, hypothetically, a new Enclave sells for $46,600 and your trade is valued at $20,000. Every figure in this example is hypothetical. The excise tax is 3.25% of $46,600, or $1,514.50. The sales tax is 1.25% of the $26,600 difference, or $332.50.

Who should skip a new Enclave, and who should skip a certified one?

On the 2026 Enclave Preferred, the power 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seat, the memory settings and the 110-volt power outlet come in an extra-cost Power Package, not as standard equipment.

A new car’s powertrain warranty runs five years or 60,000 miles. A CarBravo vehicle’s bumper-to-bumper coverage runs 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Leasing is the other route. We offer new Buick and GMC leases, and we run rotating specials.
