Buying the 2009 Lexus SC
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 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. This page puts the 2009 Lexus SC in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the SC
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 4.3L 8-cylinder, 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 37 litres, from its 12.4 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
The SC in everyday use
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Its 255 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Try before you buy
A week with the SC answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
