Thinking of buying the 2011 Lexus ES?

Before you sign for the ES
NHTSA has 199 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and structure. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 32 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.8 L/100 km combined rating. Expect about $16.74 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the ES suits
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
What to expect from the ES
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the ES answers the big questions. A week with the ES answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.74 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Next step
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
