The 2016 Lexus RX: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 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. This page sets out the 2016 Lexus RX for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid does the work, through an automatic (CVT). As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 23 litres, from its 7.8 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, it costs about $12.09 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
A test week in the RX tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the RX answers the big questions. Try the RX on your commute, then decide.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Make a request
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 2016 Lexus RX from us first.
