Thinking of buying the 2018 Lexus LC?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Lexus LC for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2018 Lexus LC for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the LC
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. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 7 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, fuel/propulsion system and structure; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid and rear-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 7.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $122.50. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the LC
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.
Size and space
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 142 litres, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the LC answers the big questions. Rent the LC for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the LC on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
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 2018 Lexus LC from us first.
