Buying the 2002 Lexus ES
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2002 Lexus ES before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 180 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and service brakes; have those parts checked. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.2 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 34 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $173.60. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
Rent the ES first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the ES for a week and see how it fits your life.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
