Auto loans: the 2002 Subaru Legacy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Subaru Legacy 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. The 2002 Subaru Legacy for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Legacy
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Who rents the Legacy
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Inside and out
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Try before you buy
A week with the Legacy answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
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.
Questions first?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
