Thinking of buying the 2015 Lexus IS?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2015 Lexus IS for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2015 Lexus IS, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the IS
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 30 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
Power: the 2.5L 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.
The EPA rates it at 9.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $50.91 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 311 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the IS tells you more than any review. Rent the IS first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.97 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169.70 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Let us know
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 2015 Lexus IS from us first.

Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2015 Lexus IS for you and reply within one business day.
