Auto loans: the 2009 Lexus ES
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2009 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. Before you buy the 2009 Lexus ES, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 173 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, vehicle speed control and electrical system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 32 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.7 L/100 km combined rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $56.16 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the ES makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What to expect from the ES
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: 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. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the ES answers more than any brochure.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
