Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.
Aerodynamically Quick
The Leganza is a pleasant surprise and has a nice styling appeal (possibly Italian). It's lightweight and sporty. It is quicker than most cars and has a strong suspension and can out run a lot of cars. It's a road runner on the highway and clips along tremendously fast and solid. The seats are real comfy and it is easy to maintain if properly tuned and oiled, which is a must. The tires are speed rated and stock at 50,000 miles. The brakes work like magic and it's one of the funnest cars I've ever driven. (#1 of 8 cars I've owned), it really motors!!!
Great Little Korean Car for a good price
This car has lots of room for backseat passengers, plenty of trunk space, and even a decent stock stereo speaker system. It packs a lot of get-up-and-go, and seems like it wants to go faster! Despite weird little problems, such as the malfunction indicator light malfunctioning, you can't beat the Daewoo Leganza for the price! We do a lot of driving between Bellingham, WA and Seattle, WA, and this car has taken the wear and tear beautifully.
Too bad they went bankrupt...
I purchased my Laganza used. I feel in love with the style of the car. (I thought it was a Lexus at first)Then when I sat in the car I noticed how much leg room it had. I was sold after that. I have had to replace the sensor light twice, but that was covered under warranty. Otherwise the car has given me no problems. I found it to be very reliable and dependable. Everything under the hood is easy to find as well. The get up and go is okay. I found it to be equal to that of a Honda Civic. I do wish it had more power when you have the A/C on. And the gas mileage is fair.
leGONEza
I was excited when I first purchased this new vechicle ($16500) but failed to consider the MOST obvious...RESALE VALUE. Last week, I went to trade-in my car and one dealership offered me $2300 and another said he could squeeze $5300 ($600 of that was because of the leather). My car is clean shining, beautiful, everybody ideal automobile but worth NOTHING. I WAS SHOCKED!!!
Great car, wish it had better resale
I've had this car almost 3 years with very minimal problems. I am just facing the drawback of resale after paying $16k in January 2000. But if you can steal one of these used for $5000 or so do it! Quality CD sound system, comfortable leather seats, good handling on snow. Fuel injectors can be a bit sensitive to make the engine light come on but it wasnt anything to worry about...so I would recommend adding a bottle of injector cleaner to your fuel tank every couple months. My local Toyota (formerly Daewoo and Toyota) dealer assures me that service will not be a problem even with the discontinuance of the Daewoo line.
