Car leasing: the 2002 Lexus GS
No 2002 Lexus GS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page helps you judge the 2002 Lexus GS before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the GS
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 17 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, air bags and tires. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. 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. Expect about $21.70 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the GS
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
Rent the GS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the GS on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the GS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
