Thinking of buying the 2002 Saturn LW?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Saturn LW for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2002 Saturn LW, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Before you sign for the LW
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, fuel system and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The figures, translated
The 2.2L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with 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.
The EPA rates it at 9.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $45.57 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the LW is like
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. At 963 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the LW
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
Rent the LW for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the LW on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the LW answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Make a request
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
