The 1999 Lexus SC: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1999 Lexus SC for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 1999 Lexus SC in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
The 3.0L 6-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.
Rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 37 litres for a 300 km round trip. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the SC
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
How big it is
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 255 litres, the trunk fits about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the SC for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the SC answers more than any brochure. Try the SC on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Ready when you are
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1999 Lexus SC from us first.
