The 2002 Subaru Legacy: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Subaru Legacy for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2002 Subaru Legacy? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Legacy
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 54 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, fuel/propulsion system and fuel system; have those parts checked. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Room inside
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Who rents the Legacy
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
Rent the Legacy for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Legacy answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Talk to a person
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 Subaru Legacy from us first.
Ask us about the 2002 Subaru Legacy
