Buying the 1999 Daewoo Lanos
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1999 Daewoo Lanos; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans.

A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 62 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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
The 1.5L 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 9.0 L/100 km rating. 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.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its length is 4.07 m, so it is short. Parking on city streets is easy. With 340 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
A week with the Lanos answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Lanos for a week and see how it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Within the 1999 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
