The 2000 Lexus SC for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Lexus SC 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. Before buying the 2000 Lexus SC, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. 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 12.4 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 37 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $217 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 255 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the SC on your commute, then decide. Rent the SC first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
