Thinking of buying the 1998 Lexus SC?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1998 Lexus SC; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1998 Lexus SC before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
The 3.0L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 4-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.
Fuel use is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 37 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $217 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
How big it is
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 255 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the SC for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the SC on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Let us know
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
