The 1999 Lexus GS: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1999 Lexus GS for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 1999 Lexus GS? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 35 litres for a 300 km round trip. Expect about $20.65 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the GS answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Your move
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
