Car financing: the 1990 Lexus LS
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1990 Lexus LS for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 1990 Lexus LS, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the LS
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 24 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, air bags and latches/locks/linkages.
Under the hood
Power: the 4.0L 8-cylinder; drive: 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.
A combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km works out to about 39 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Living with the LS
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 396 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the LS answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
