The 2000 Saturn SW for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Saturn SW for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2000 Saturn SW, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the SW
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 15 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, electrical system and seats; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
Power: the 1.9L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 8.7 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 26 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.49 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
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.
What the SW is like
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA lists 708 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the SW on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the SW answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting.
