The 2002 Lexus LS for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Lexus LS; this page helps you judge it 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. This page sets out the 2002 Lexus LS for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 37 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, latches/locks/linkages and vehicle speed control; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Under the hood
It is powered by the 4.3L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. 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.
The EPA rates it at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 37 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $21.70 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the LS suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Size and space
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 396 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the LS answers more than any brochure. Rent the LS for a week and see how it fits your life.
Year and trim
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.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. 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.
