The 2002 Lexus IS for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Lexus IS for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. For anyone shopping for the 2002 Lexus IS, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 40 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, service brakes and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Engine and fuel
Its 3.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. 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.
Expect about 37 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.4 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.70. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the IS suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 623 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the IS answers more than any brochure. Rent the IS for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
