The 2001 Lexus IS: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Lexus IS for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2001 Lexus IS? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 39 litres, from its 13.1 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 311 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the IS on your commute before you commit to it. Try the IS on your commute, then decide.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.
