Car financing: the 2002 Kia Spectra
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Kia Spectra 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. Thinking about the 2002 Kia Spectra? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 92 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, service brakes and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
It uses the 1.8L 4-cylinder and 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.
Fuel use is rated 9.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.19 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Spectra
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Living with the Spectra
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 396 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Spectra answers more than any brochure. Rent the Spectra for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
