The 2020 Lexus RC for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Lexus RC for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2020 Lexus RC, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other and wheels. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 9.7 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $50.91 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
The RC in everyday use
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 283 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Rent it for a week first
If the RC is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the RC answers the big questions. Rent the RC first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169.70 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
