Thinking of buying the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 315 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and service brakes; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
The powertrain to know here is the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 29 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.8 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $151.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the Cavalier is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With a length of 4.54 m, it counts as mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Cavalier suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
A longer test drive
Drive the Cavalier on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Cavalier answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
