Buying the 2010 Lexus LS
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2010 Lexus LS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2010 Lexus LS before buying one.
Before you sign for the LS
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 32 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, unknown or other and steering; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
It runs the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Expect about 34 litres for every 300 km, going by its 11.2 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.36, and a 300 km weekend about $52.08. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the LS
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 283 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the LS answers more than any brochure. A test week in the LS tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
Within the 2010 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
When you know your dates
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2010 Lexus LS from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2010 Lexus LS for you and reply within one business day.
