Lease takeover: the 2012 Lexus LFA
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Lexus LFA 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 LFA for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the LFA
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Its 4.8L 10-cylinder drives through a 6-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.
Plan on about 56 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 18.7 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $98.19 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$6,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the LFA for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $327.30 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
