Thinking of buying the 2004 Lexus RX?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2004 Lexus RX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 2004 Lexus RX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 327 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, service brakes and structure. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The 3.3L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $18.29 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Who rents the RX
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the RX answers the big questions. Rent the RX for a week and see how it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.
Send a request
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
