The 2000 Lexus SC: before you buy
No 2000 Lexus SC is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2000 Lexus SC for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the SC
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The 3.0L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. 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.
Its combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $217 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The SC in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 255 litres, roughly about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the SC for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the SC first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Your move
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
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 2000 Lexus SC from us first.
