Buying the 2010 Lexus RX
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2010 Lexus RX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2010 Lexus RX, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the RX
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 7.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 23 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $36.27 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the RX
It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
How big it is
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Try before you buy
Rent the RX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
