Thinking of buying the 2005 Lexus LS?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2005 Lexus LS 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. This page helps you judge the 2005 Lexus LS before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the LS
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 26 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, air bags and service brakes. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 4.3L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 39 litres, from its 13.1 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
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.
Inside and out
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 453 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
