Looking for Daewoo Leganza Owners Manual? |
|||||||||||
The Leganza marked a diversion from Daewoos initial strategy of unadventurous small cars. As part of the second wave of Daewoo vehicles to arrive in the UK, and a more ambitious offering than anything the Korean giant had yet introduced, the Leganza placed a toe in the water in a marketplace brimful with quality offerings from the mainstream manufacturers. Going up against established competition such as the Ford Mondeo and Peugeot 406 was never going to be easy, but the combination of luxurious levels of trim and a very competitive price aimed to give the Leganza the best possible chance. Traditionally appealing to a mature clientele who place a premium on value, reliability and a watertight warranty agreement, Daewoos models wont attract those who prioritise refinement and handling. Its well equipped, should prove reliable and you wont see many other ones out on the road. In short, almost everything. As befits the top model of a new range, Daewoo went out to stuff as much standard equipment as possible and this bumped new prices uncomfortably close to more charismatic four door saloons such as the Rover 75 and Alfa 156. A short drive in a Leganza can turn into a major button-pressing experience. Even the base SX model adopts a belt and braces approach with an electric sunroof and air conditioning as standard. Weigh in tinted glass, a fiendishly complex six speaker stereo system, electrically adjustable/heated mirrors and remote central locking with immobiliser and alarm and a clear picture begins to emerge. Specify any of its similarly priced rivals to this level and the comparison becomes fatuous. The CDX model adds alloy wheels and a cleverer climate control function, ultrasonic alarm, leather steering wheel and wood effect trim. Specify the automatic and a leather gear knob is standard. At the top of the tree is the CDX-E. Specifications here are similar to the CDX but with the addition of Phillips CARiN satellite navigation, larger alloy wheels, leather upholstery, electric drivers seat and a Sony 10 disc autochanger. Despite, or perhaps because of, its luxury pretensions, the Leganza has sold in numbers most generously described as modest. Privately sold models are rare, and the best chance of securing one may well be through a Daewoo franchised dealer. Expect to see three year old cars which are just out of warranty for sale in increasing numbers, and these should represent an interesting bargaining opportunity. Second-hand Leganza prices start at around 1,000 for a 2.0-litre SX on 97R plates and you should be able to secure even a 99V for under 1,700. Moving up the range, a CDX model with a 99S plate and 71,000 miles showing should retail for around 1,500, rising through to 2,800 for an 02-plate model. The automatic gearbox option available will add 200 to the price of its manual equivalent. The length of outstanding warranty should be an important factor when fixing a price. No significant faults have been noticed with the Leganza to date. In order to get the best from the warranty package check to ensure that servicing has been carried out at the specified intervals. Due to its generally mature customer base, a Leganza will probably have led an easier life than many more dynamically acclaimed rivals. (approx based on a Leganza 2.0 CDX) Spares prices could well be Daewoos Achilles heel. As with many foreign cars which sell in modest numbers, parts prices arent pitched at the levels those accustomed to Ford and Vauxhall have come to expect. Therefore, a clutch assembly will be around 129 and an alternator should be close to 235. |
