Thinking of buying the 2021 Lexus IS?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Lexus IS for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2021 Lexus IS for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other and engine. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. 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 combined figure, 9.5 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $16.63. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 311 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the IS for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the IS first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2021 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,300 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.
One more step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2021 Lexus IS from us first.
