Car leasing: the 1990 Lexus LS
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1990 Lexus LS 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. Buying the 1990 Lexus LS is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the LS
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and latches/locks/linkages; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The 4.0L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. 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.
Fuel use is rated 13.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 39 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $229.30. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the LS
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
How big it is
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 396 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the LS answers the big questions. Rent the LS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
