The 2001 Lexus RX: before you buy
No 2001 Lexus RX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2001 Lexus RX for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the RX
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
A combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km works out to about 39 litres per 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $60.93 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
The RX in everyday use
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Luggage space is 906 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Drive the RX on your commute before you commit to it. If the RX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the RX first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel.
