Car financing: the 2013 Lexus LS
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 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. Here is what to know about the 2013 Lexus LS before buying one.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 15 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, forward collision avoidance and engine. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Fuel use is rated 11.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 35 litres. Expect about $17.83 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
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.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 283 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A test week in the LS tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the LS answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
