Buying the 2023 Lexus IS
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2023 Lexus IS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2023 Lexus IS, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, most often about back over prevention, electrical system and engine; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
A combined rating of 9.5 L/100 km works out to about 29 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $49.89 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Living with the IS
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 311 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A test week in the IS tells you more than any review. Rent the IS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the IS answers the big questions.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.63 in fuel.
