The 2003 Lexus RX: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Lexus RX 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. For anyone shopping for the 2003 Lexus RX, here are the facts that matter.
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. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
The combined figure, 13.1 L/100 km, means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $60.93 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. At 906 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the RX
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the RX tells you more than any review. Rent the RX for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.
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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Over to you
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2003 Lexus RX from us first.
