Thinking of buying the 2006 Lexus LX?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2006 Lexus LX for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2006 Lexus LX for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 15 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, steering and exterior lighting. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The 4.7L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The combined figure, 18.1 L/100 km, means roughly 54 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $84.18 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the LX
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the LX
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $28.06 in fuel.
