Buying the 2002 Lexus RX
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Lexus RX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2002 Lexus RX, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 100 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and air bags; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the figures tell you
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 39 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $60.93 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA lists 906 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the RX makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Try before you buy
Rent the RX for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
