Thinking of buying the 2002 Lexus IS?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Lexus IS for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 2002 Lexus IS for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the IS
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.
Expect about 37 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.4 L/100 km combined rating. 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.
How big it is
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 623 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the IS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the IS first, and buy only if it fits your life.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Rent it for a week before you buy
