Thinking of buying the 2020 Lexus IS?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 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. Before you buy the 2020 Lexus IS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. 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.
Engine and fuel
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. 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, 9.7 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $16.97 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the IS
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 311 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the IS suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the IS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169.70 at our price setting.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Over to you
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2020 Lexus IS from us first.
