Thinking of buying the 2005 Lexus ES?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. Buying the 2005 Lexus ES is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the ES

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
It uses the 3.3L 6-cylinder and 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.
The EPA rates it at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.36, and a 300 km weekend about $52.08. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Living with the ES
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Ready when you are
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
