Buying the 2002 Lexus IS
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 Lexus IS for sale by us right now. The 2002 Lexus IS for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the IS
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $21.70 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
How big it is
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 623 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
If the IS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the IS for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the IS tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Talk to a person
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 2002 Lexus IS from us first.
