Auto loans: the 2000 Pontiac Sunfire
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Pontiac Sunfire; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2000 Pontiac Sunfire is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Sunfire
Owners filed 96 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and service brakes; have those parts checked. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
The 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
By the EPA's combined rating of 9.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 29 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.19 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Sunfire for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the Sunfire on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
