The 2002 Daewoo Lanos: before you buy
No 2002 Daewoo Lanos is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2002 Daewoo Lanos before buying one.
Before you sign for the Lanos
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. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 1.5L 4-cylinder with 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.
Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.95 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the Lanos
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Lanos answers more than any brochure. Rent the Lanos first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
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.
Ready when you are
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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.
