The 2000 Lexus ES for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Lexus ES; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2000 Lexus ES before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 62 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, visibility and service brakes.

The figures, translated

The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Its combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $182.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the ES

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Space and size

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

A test week in the ES tells you more than any review. Try the ES on your commute, then decide. Drive the ES on your commute before you commit to it.

Choosing the right one

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel.
