The 2003 Lexus IS for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Lexus IS for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2003 Lexus IS in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the IS
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 33 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, air bags and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. Every 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 481 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the IS tells you more than any review. Rent the IS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
