The 2003 Saturn LW: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2003 Saturn LW for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2003 Saturn LW, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the LW
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
It uses the 2.2L 4-cylinder and 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.
The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 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.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What to expect from the LW
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 963 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
