The 2013 Lexus ES for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2013 Lexus ES, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 5.9 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 18 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $27.45 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks.
Room inside
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 340 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the ES tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. Drive the ES on your commute before you commit to it.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2013 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $91.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Send a request
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
