The 2001 Lexus RX: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Lexus RX for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. The 2001 Lexus RX for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the RX
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. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Fuel use is rated 13.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 39 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.31, and a 300 km weekend about $60.93. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The RX in everyday use
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. With 906 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the RX suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people who want car handling with extra load space.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the RX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the RX answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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 $20.31 in fuel.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Next step
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
