The 2000 Lexus LS: before you buy

No 2000 Lexus LS is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. For anyone shopping for the 2000 Lexus LS, here are the facts that matter.

Before you sign for the LS

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 13 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, electrical system and power train.

Specs, explained

The engine is the 4.0L 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.

At 12.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 37 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $21.70 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the LS

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Room inside

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 396 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the LS for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the LS tells you more than any review. If the LS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Which one to look for

Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
