The 2016 Lexus GS for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Lexus GS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2016 Lexus GS for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 10 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel/propulsion system, unknown or other and steering; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, driving through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 7.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $116.30. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the GS suits
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.
What to expect from the GS
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the GS for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the GS tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
