Car financing: the 2017 Lexus RC
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 Lexus RC; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2017 Lexus RC is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the RC
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 9.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $15.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 283 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the RC on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the RC answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $159.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.
Ready when you are
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 2017 Lexus RC from us first.
