Buying the 2003 Lexus LX
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2003 Lexus LX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2003 Lexus LX is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 20 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, electrical system and service brakes. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 4.7L 8-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Plan on about 54 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 18.1 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $280.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the LX makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Size and space
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A longer test drive
Drive the LX on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the LX for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2003 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $28.06 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $280.60 at our price setting.
