The 2002 Saturn SL for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Saturn SL for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page helps you judge the 2002 Saturn SL before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
Its powertrain is the 1.9L 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.
Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.4 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.02, and a 300 km weekend about $39.06. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the SL
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Rent the SL first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $130.20 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
One more step
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
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 Saturn SL from us first.
