How much does the 2017 GMC Terrain cost?

Prices have softened 6.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,285 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2017 GMC Terrain a good car?

Generally — the 2017 GMC Terrain earns a 4.3/5 user rating, which points to broad owner satisfaction. Owners repeatedly praise its comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and spacious interior, and many also like its attractive design and smooth handling. For you, that makes it a sensible pick if you want a compact SUV that leans more toward everyday comfort and usable space than sporty driving. With 31.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2017 GMC Terrain reliable?

Owners rate it 4.3/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback also points to a comfortable, dependable-feeling daily driver with a quiet cabin and smooth ride, which are traits many shoppers want for long-term ownership. At the same time, some drivers mention weaker acceleration, so you should focus on finding a well-kept example that feels mechanically sound and has been maintained consistently. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is ending up with a neglected vehicle, so condition and service history matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 GMC Terrain?

At 60.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can catch hidden body, suspension, or mechanical issues. Focus closely on overall condition, maintenance records, and whether the vehicle drives smoothly, since a clean-looking listing can still hide expensive problems. If anything feels inconsistent, move on to a better-documented example.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 GMC Terrain?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, but the best listings still deserve quick attention.

• Deal availability: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,285 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,725, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 GMC Terrain's resale value?

The current average of $10,725 sits slightly below last year's $11,419.

That softer pricing suggests the Terrain is in a buyer-friendly phase right now, which can limit upside for a near-term seller. If you plan to resell later, your best protection is buying well, keeping mileage reasonable, and choosing a clean, well-documented example. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2017 GMC Terrain or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $13,610, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $10,725 average.
• It brings a redesigned look with a more modern overall package.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2017 if you want the better value and are willing to shop carefully for condition. If you can stretch your budget and want the newer redesign, the 2018 is the alternative to compare, but price-sensitive buyers will usually find the 2017 easier to justify.
