Car financing: the 1995 Lexus LS

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1995 Lexus LS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 1995 Lexus LS, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the LS

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

What the figures tell you

The 4.0L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.

Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. Expect about $21.70 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The LS in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 396 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the LS answers the big questions. Rent the LS for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the LS on your commute before you commit to it.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

When you know your dates

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.

Rent it for a week before you buy
