Buying the 2008 Lexus GX
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 Lexus GX for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2008 Lexus GX for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the GX
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 15 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, vehicle speed control and air bags.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 4.7L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Fuel use is rated 15.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 47 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $82.44 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Who rents the GX
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
A test week in the GX tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the GX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.
