The 2002 GMC Sierra: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 GMC Sierra for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2002 GMC Sierra, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Sierra
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 591 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and power train; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 4.3L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 14.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 44 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $227.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Size and space
It is built for loads that would never fit in a trunk.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $227.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.79 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Ask us

Rent it for a week before you buy
