The 2010 Lexus HS for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2010 Lexus HS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2010 Lexus HS is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 146 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, suspension and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

It uses the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid and front-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated at 6.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 20 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $31.17 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,900 a year for 15,000 miles.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Room inside

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the HS answers more than any brochure. Try the HS on your commute, then decide.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$1,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $10.39 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $103.90 at our price setting.

Your move

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.

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 2010 Lexus HS from us first.
