Buying the 1999 Daewoo Lanos
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1999 Daewoo Lanos for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 1999 Daewoo Lanos is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 62 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, air bags and service brakes.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 9.0 L/100 km combined: about 27 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $139.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Lanos suits
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space, size and seats
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With a length of 4.07 m, it counts as short. Parking on city streets is easy. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A test week in the Lanos tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Lanos answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
