Thinking of buying the 2002 Buick Regal?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Buick Regal for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2002 Buick Regal, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 117 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and engine and engine cooling. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
It runs the 3.8L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 35 litres, from its 11.8 L/100 km rating. Expect about $18.29 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 481 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Regal for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the Regal on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Next step
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2002 Buick Regal from us first.
