Thinking of buying the 2011 Lexus LS?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Lexus LS 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. The 2011 Lexus LS for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the LS
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The figures, translated
Its 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid drives through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Combined fuel use is 11.5 L/100 km: about 35 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.83. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the LS
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.
What to expect from the LS
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 283 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the LS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel.
Next step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
