The 2003 Lexus GX for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2003 Lexus GX for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2003 Lexus GX, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the GX
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 51 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, suspension and unknown or other. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
It runs the 4.7L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Combined fuel use is 15.7 L/100 km: about 47 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $73.02 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
A longer test drive
Rent the GX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the GX first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.
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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Ready when you are
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2003 Lexus GX from us first.
