Certified Pre-Owned: the 2007 Lexus LS
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2007 Lexus LS before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2007 Lexus LS for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the LS
NHTSA has 139 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, engine and unknown or other. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The powertrain here is the 4.6L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and an 8-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.
The combined figure, 12.1 L/100 km, means roughly 36 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $21.18. The EPA estimates US$4,225 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the LS for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the LS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $211.80 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Questions first?
