Buying the 2017 Lexus RX
No 2017 Lexus RX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2017 Lexus RX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the RX
Owners filed 103 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, service brakes and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
It runs the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. Expect about $12.25 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the RX makes sense
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What the RX is like
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Try before you buy
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. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel.
Over to you
