Buying the 2018 Lexus GX
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 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. For anyone shopping for the 2018 Lexus GX, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, air bags and back over prevention; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 4.6L 8-cylinder with four-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.
By the EPA's combined rating of 14.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 44 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $255.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the GX suits
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
The higher seat of a full-size SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Rent it for a week first
If the GX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the GX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the GX for a week and see how it fits your life.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $255.50 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
