Buying the 2016 Lexus IS
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Lexus IS; 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. For anyone shopping for the 2016 Lexus IS, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 9.1 L/100 km rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.93 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 311 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the IS
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the IS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
