The 2008 Lexus LX: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2008 Lexus LX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2008 Lexus LX, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Power: the 5.7L 8-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
At 16.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 50 litres of fuel. For 1,000 km, budget about $294 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The LX in everyday use
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Is it right for your trip?
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Rent the LX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the LX first, and buy only if it fits your life. Try the LX on your commute, then decide.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$5,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $29.40 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
