Buying the 1998 Lexus LX
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1998 Lexus LX for sale by us right now. This page puts the 1998 Lexus LX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the LX
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 4.7L 8-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated at 18.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 54 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $280.60 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Who the LX suits
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Try before you buy
Try the LX on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $280.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
