Auto loans: the 2017 Lexus RX
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2017 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. Before buying the 2017 Lexus RX, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the RX
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 103 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, service brakes and engine; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
The powertrain here is the 3.5L 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 helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Rated at 7.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 24 litres for a 300 km round trip. Every 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
If the RX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the RX for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the RX first, and buy only if it fits your life.
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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2017 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
