Buying the 2020 Lexus LS
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 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 2020 Lexus LS before buying one.
What to check on the LS
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, with rear-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.4 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $130.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the LS
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 340 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the LS on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $130.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
