Auto loans: the 1994 Lexus ES
No 1994 Lexus ES is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 1994 Lexus ES for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the ES
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.31, and a 300 km weekend about $60.93. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 396 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the ES first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. Rent the ES for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1994 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
