Auto loans: the 1992 Lexus ES
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1992 Lexus ES for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 1992 Lexus ES, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 38 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 37 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $192.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the ES makes sense
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What to expect from the ES
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. At 396 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the ES answers more than any brochure.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 1992 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Get an offer
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
