Buying the 2006 Lexus SC
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2006 Lexus SC; 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. Here is what to know about the 2006 Lexus SC before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The figures, translated
The engine is the 4.3L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-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.
Rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 37 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the SC suits
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Room inside
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. Its 255 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the SC for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the SC answers the big questions. A test week in the SC tells you more than any review.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
