Car financing: the 1999 Lexus ES

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1999 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 1999 Lexus ES for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

What to check on the ES

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 35 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, electrical system and air bags.

Engine and fuel

Its 3.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

At 12.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 37 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $19.22 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

What to expect from the ES

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the ES answers more than any brochure. Try the ES on your commute, then decide.

Year and trim

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.

What it costs to run

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$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
