Thinking of buying the 2002 Lexus ES?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page sets out the 2002 Lexus ES for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the ES
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 180 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, vehicle speed control and service brakes.
Specs, explained
Its 3.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 34 litres for every 300 km, going by its 11.2 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $17.36 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the ES makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
What to expect from the ES
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the ES for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 2002 Lexus ES from us first.
