Buying the 2001 Lexus ES

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Lexus ES; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2001 Lexus ES for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

Reading the spec sheet

Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through 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.

Plan on about 35 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $54.87 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who rents the ES

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

A longer test drive

Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. If the ES is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Year and trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

When you know your dates

A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Lexus ES from us first.
