The 2016 Lexus IS for buyers
No 2016 Lexus IS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car 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. Before you buy the 2016 Lexus IS, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
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. NHTSA has 17 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with 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 9.1 L/100 km combined: about 27 litres every 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $15.93 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the IS
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the IS
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 311 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the IS on your commute, then decide. A week with the IS answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.93 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Send a request
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2016 Lexus IS from us first.
