Thinking of buying the 2012 Lexus GX?
No 2012 Lexus GX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2012 Lexus GX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the GX
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electronic stability control (esc) and engine; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 4.6L 8-cylinder; drive: four-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.
Rated at 13.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 41 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $72.45 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the GX
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space, size and seats
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Try the GX on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the GX tells you more than any review.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $241.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Over to you
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2012 Lexus GX from us first.
