The 1996 Lexus SC: before you buy
No 1996 Lexus SC is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 1996 Lexus SC? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and 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.
The EPA rates it at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 37 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
The SC in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 255 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
A test week in the SC tells you more than any review. Rent the SC for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the SC on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
