Auto loans: the 2019 Lexus RC
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2019 Lexus RC; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2019 Lexus RC, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the RC
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 4 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, engine and forward collision avoidance. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 9.6 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $50.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the RC
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 283 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the RC first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the RC answers more than any brochure. Rent the RC for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.80 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2019 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
