Buying the 2000 Lexus LS

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Lexus LS for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2000 Lexus LS before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 13 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

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.

It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so budget about 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $21.70 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the LS suits

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Size and space

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 396 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Try before you buy

If the LS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the LS on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Year and trim

Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
