The 2003 Lexus GS: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Lexus GS for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2003 Lexus GS, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the GS

NHTSA has 21 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, power train and service brakes. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the specs mean

The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. 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.

The combined figure, 12.4 L/100 km, means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.70, and a 300 km weekend about $65.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the GS

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who rents the GS

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the GS first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Rent it for a week before you buy
