The 2016 Lexus GS: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Lexus GS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2016 Lexus GS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The figures, translated
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 7.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $11.63 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the GS is like
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the GS for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the GS on your commute, then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Want a price?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Lexus GS from us first.
