Buying the 2000 Lexus SC
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Lexus SC for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2000 Lexus SC for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
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. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
Its 3.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 4-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.
It is rated 12.4 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $21.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the SC
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 255 litres, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who the SC suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
A longer test drive
Rent the SC first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the SC on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
