Certified Pre-Owned: the 2000 Lexus RX
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Lexus RX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2000 Lexus RX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the RX
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 245 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and engine cooling and vehicle speed control. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. Expect about $19.22 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year 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. Luggage space is rated at 906 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the RX suits
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the RX on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Make a request
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2000 Lexus RX from us first.
