Thinking of buying the 2009 Lexus RX?
No 2009 Lexus RX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2009 Lexus RX before buying one.
What to check on the RX
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 132 complaints with NHTSA, most often about steering, engine and structure; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
The 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $206.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The RX in everyday use
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
