The 2007 Lexus RX: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Lexus RX for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2007 Lexus RX, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 289 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, structure and steering; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Specs, explained
The powertrain here is the 3.3L 6-cylinder hybrid with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.95 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the RX
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Best uses
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the RX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
