The 2006 Lexus LX for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2006 Lexus LX; 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. This page puts the 2006 Lexus LX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 4.7L 8-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Plan on about 54 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 18.1 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $280.60. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The LX in everyday use
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the LX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $28.06 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $280.60 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2006 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
