The 1998 Lexus LS, explained
This is the 1998 Lexus LS: how it was powered, what it uses and which trims were sold in Canada.
What the figures tell you
It is powered by 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. It shifts by itself; there is no clutch pedal to think about.
It is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. Around town it is rated at 13.8 L/100 km; on the highway, 10.2. That works out to about $21.70 per 100 km at our price setting. We count premium at $1.75 a litre for the cost figures on this page.
How far it goes
For a trip out of Ontario, ask first: it needs our written consent. Plan longer trips against the kilometres included each day. A long weekend away is easy to price with the figures on this page.
When the LS makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Room inside
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. 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. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 6 similar cars are listed below. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Requesting a car
First, a request: the car you like, when you need it, and where. No payment yet. A real person reviews your request and sends an offer with the price spelled out. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.
Each car has its own page with its photos, its rates and its calendar. Need it longer than 365 days? Renew with a new agreement when the booking ends. Plan for at least 2 hours between sending the request and picking up the car.
What to have ready
An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more: that is where it starts. Drivers below 26 pay a fee each day of the rental, and older drivers pay none. You show your original licence and your card when we hand you the keys.
Before pickup, choose how damage to the car is handled: your auto policy (OPCF 27), your credit card's rental benefit, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is separate from the rental price and is returned after the rental. Each driver named on the booking signs the rental agreement.

What you need to rent
Drivers must be 18 or older at pickup. A young driver fee applies by age: 18 to 20, $35 a day and 21 to 25, $20 a day; from 26 there is none.
Licence: an Ontario G2 and G licence, valid for the whole rental. A licence from another province or country, an international one with its permit included, is accepted on a request and checked by a person before we confirm.
An additional driver costs 25% of the daily rate for each day, and meets the same rules.
Third-party liability coverage is included in every rate. For damage to the car you need one of these before pickup: OPCF 27 on your own auto policy, Your credit card’s rental coverage and The CarmaCars Protection Plan. A claim on our fleet policy costs you the $2,500 deductible.
The deposit is a hold on your card, $500 to $5,000 depending on the car, never a charge.
At pickup, bring your original licence and the card you paid with.
Book at least 2 hours before pickup.
Cancelling: 95% back within 24 hours of booking when pickup is 48 hours or more away; 75% back 48 hours or more before pickup; 50% back 24 to 48 hours before; nothing back later.
