Buying the 2017 Lexus ES

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Thinking about the 2017 Lexus ES? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Before you sign for the ES

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 26 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, service brakes and structure. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

The figures, translated

The 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Expect about 18 litres for every 300 km, going by its 5.9 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $91.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 340 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the ES for a week and see how it fits your life.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $91.50 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Year and trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Next step

Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.

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 2017 Lexus ES from us first.
