Thinking of buying the 2001 Daewoo Lanos?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Daewoo Lanos for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2001 Daewoo Lanos for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 129 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, air bags and service brakes. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 1.5L 4-cylinder and 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.
A combined rating of 9.0 L/100 km works out to about 27 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.95 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
Drive the Lanos on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Lanos answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
