Thinking of buying the 2002 Daewoo Lanos?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Daewoo Lanos for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2002 Daewoo Lanos, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

What to check on the Lanos

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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the specs mean

The 1.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with 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.

It is rated at 9.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 27 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $41.85 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.

The Lanos in everyday use

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 340 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Try before you buy

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Lanos for a week and see how it fits your life.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Ask us

Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.

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 Daewoo Lanos from us first.
