Buying the 2003 Lexus ES
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2003 Lexus ES for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Before you buy the 2003 Lexus ES, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving 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.
Combined fuel use is 11.2 L/100 km: about 34 litres for 300 km. Expect about $17.36 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space, size and seats
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold 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. If the ES is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the ES on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
