Buying the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Pontiac Sunfire 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 Pontiac Sunfire? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 82 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The 2.2L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 9.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.88 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Sunfire
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
A week with the Sunfire answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Sunfire first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.88 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Next step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire from us first.
