Thinking of buying the 2006 Lexus ES?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2006 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2006 Lexus ES before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 79 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, vehicle speed control and power train. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
It is powered by the 3.3L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $19.60 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The ES in everyday use
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the ES first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.60 in fuel.
