The 2005 Lexus GS for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2005 Lexus GS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Lexus GS, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.0L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 12.4 L/100 km, means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the GS makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Practical details
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A test week in the GS tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the GS answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
