Buying the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 658 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, structure and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
The 5.3L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 16.8 L/100 km, means roughly 50 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $26.04 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 5.63 m long. Measure your parking spot or garage first.
Good uses for the Avalanche
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Avalanche answers more than any brochure. Try the Avalanche on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $26.04 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Next step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
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 Chevrolet Avalanche from us first.
