The 2008 Lexus ES for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2008 Lexus ES, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 323 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, vehicle speed control and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Specs, explained
The 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $56.16 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the ES for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the ES tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Questions first?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
