Thinking of buying the 2011 Lexus RX?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 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. This page puts the 2011 Lexus RX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the figures tell you
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. 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.
It is rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. Expect about $12.40 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Size and space
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the RX answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Get an offer
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
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 2011 Lexus RX from us first.
