Thinking of buying the 2006 Lexus SC?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2006 Lexus SC for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 2006 Lexus SC for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the SC
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 4.3L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 6-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.
A combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km works out to about 37 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the SC
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Inside and out
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. For luggage, 255 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the SC is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the SC on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
