The 2001 Lexus LS for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Lexus LS; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2001 Lexus LS, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the LS
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 4.3L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-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.
It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 37 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the LS
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
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. A test week in the LS tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. 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.
Make a request
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
