Buying the 2019 Lexus RC
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2019 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. Before buying the 2019 Lexus RC, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the RC
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 4 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, engine and forward collision avoidance.
Specs, explained
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 9.6 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $50.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the RC suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Size and space
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 283 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the RC on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.80 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $168 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
