Buying the 2002 Toyota Celica

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Toyota Celica for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2002 Toyota Celica, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Celica

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 29 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and engine cooling and fuel system; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you

The 1.8L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

It is rated 8.4 L/100 km combined: about 25 litres every 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $39.06 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Size and space

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 481 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Celica answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Narrowing it down

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. 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.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel. 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.

Rent it for a week before you buy
