Certified Pre-Owned: the 2011 Lexus LS
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Lexus LS for sale by us right now. The 2011 Lexus LS for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Rated at 11.5 L/100 km combined, it needs around 35 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.83, and a 300 km weekend about $53.49. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the LS
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA lists 283 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the LS
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the LS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
