Thinking of buying the 2001 Lexus GS?
No 2001 Lexus GS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2001 Lexus GS? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, air bags and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
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.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 39 litres. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the GS makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the GS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
