The 2012 Lexus LFA for buyers
No 2012 Lexus LFA is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2012 Lexus LFA, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
Its powertrain is the 4.8L 10-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.
It is rated at 18.7 L/100 km combined, so budget about 56 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $327.30 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$6,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the LFA
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
A week with the LFA answers more than any brochure. Try the LFA on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $327.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Still deciding?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
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 2012 Lexus LFA from us first.
