Buying the 2012 Lexus HS

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Lexus HS for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page sets out the 2012 Lexus HS for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Specs, explained

Under the hood: the 2.4L 4-cylinder hybrid and front-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Rated at 6.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 21 litres for a 300 km round trip. Driving 300 km costs roughly $32.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the HS answers more than any brochure. Rent the HS first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $107 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

Next step

Rent it for a week before you buy
