Thinking of buying the 2021 Lexus ES?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Lexus ES, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 35 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, forward collision avoidance and steering; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Its 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid drives 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.
Expect about 16 litres for every 300 km, going by its 5.4 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $25.11 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is rated at 396 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.
Try before you buy
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. A week with the ES answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.37 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
