The 2008 Lexus GX: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2008 Lexus GX for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2008 Lexus GX before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints

The numbers in plain words
It runs the 4.7L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated 15.7 L/100 km combined: about 47 litres every 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $82.44 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the GX suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Size and space
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Try before you buy
Rent the GX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Drive the GX on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $274.80 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
