Thinking of buying the Lexus GS?

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the Lexus GS before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the Lexus GS, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

What to check on the GS

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Under the hood

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

How big it is

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.

Best uses

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Drive it on your own roads

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the GS tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Ready to ask?

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Lexus GS from us first.

Buying the Lexus GS

Does CarmaCars sell the Lexus GS?

CarmaCars rents cars and sells one now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Lexus GS before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
