Thinking of buying the 2005 Lexus GS?

No 2005 Lexus GS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2005 Lexus GS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the specs mean

The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

A good match for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

Try the GS on your commute, then decide. Rent the GS for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the GS answers the big questions.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
