Buying the 2002 Suzuki Esteem
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Suzuki Esteem; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2002 Suzuki Esteem, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
What to check on the Esteem
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
Its powertrain is the 1.8L 4-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.
Its combined rating is 8.9 L/100 km, which means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $138 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Size and space
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Its 680 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Drive the Esteem on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Esteem answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.80 in fuel.
Want a price?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 Suzuki Esteem from us first.
