The bad news is that Daewoo discontinued selling new cars in the United States two years ago. The good news is you can still buy a used Daewoo in San Diego at a great price.
Daewoo released three cars from the years 1999-2002. Any of those would be a perfect pre-owned car for you. How about a used Lanos, a front-drive subcompact that competes well with the Toyota Echo and Honda Civic, or maybe a mid-sized Nubira, or even a used Daewoo Leganza, that popular luxury mid-sized vehicle. What Daewoo may lack in industry reputation-- (how much reputation can you build in 4 years?)-- it made up for in customer satisfaction, as proven by Auto Junction.com rating it one of the highest customer- rated automakers in the world, second only to Honda.
Since there are no dealerships to speak of, your best bet for finding that Used Daewoo automobile is to try autotrader.com, a great resource for finding any used car. Sure it might take some work but where else can you find a 2000 automobile in good condition with a retail price starting at $1000?
