The 2001 Lexus LS for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Lexus LS for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Buying the 2001 Lexus LS is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. 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 57 owner complaints on file, mostly about structure, latches/locks/linkages and vehicle speed control.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 4.3L 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.
A combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km works out to about 37 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $217 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the LS
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space and size
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 453 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the LS tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
