The 1997 Lexus LS in short
Looking at the 1997 Lexus LS? Start with its powertrains and fuel use.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain to know here is the 4.0L 8-cylinder, with 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 automatic gearbox makes city traffic easy.
At 12.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 37 litres of fuel. The split is 13.8 L/100 km in town and 10.2 on the highway. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.70, and a 300 km weekend about $65.10. We count premium at $1.75 a litre for the cost figures on this page.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
How far it goes
Trips outside Ontario need our written consent, agreed before you go. Return the car with the fuel it had at pickup, or a fee applies. Plan longer trips against the kilometres included each day.
How big it is
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 396 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Can I rent it?
Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What we ask of drivers
You need to be 18 or older at pickup, with an Ontario G2 or G licence valid for the whole rental. Each day of the rental carries a young driver fee if a driver is under 26. We check that the card and the licence carry the same name.
If you have no auto policy and no card benefit, the CarmaCars Protection Plan is the third option, priced in your offer. Deposits are listed car by car, so you can compare before you ask. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.
Your request, our offer, your keys
All you send at first is a request with the car and the dates, and it is free. The reply is an offer you can read in full before you decide anything. Say yes to the offer and pay; that is when the booking is made.
Every car lists its own deposit and the kilometres included each day. A single booking can run up to 365 days. For longer, it renews month after month. Allow 2 hours or more between your request and the pickup time.
