The 2009 Lexus GS: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2009 Lexus GS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2009 Lexus GS is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the GS
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 10 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid; drive: rear-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 31 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.2 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.81 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 255 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the GS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the GS answers more than any brochure. Rent the GS first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
