Car financing: the 2002 Lexus GS
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Lexus GS 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. Before you buy the 2002 Lexus GS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 17 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, air bags and tires. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: 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 12.4 L/100 km combined: about 37 litres every 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the GS answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
