The 2002 Saturn LW for buyers
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. This page sets out the 2002 Saturn LW for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the LW
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, fuel system and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked.
What the figures tell you
The 2.2L 4-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 9.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 29 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.19 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. In plain terms, its 963 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
