The 2000 Lexus RX: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 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. Before you buy the 2000 Lexus RX, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the RX
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 245 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and engine cooling and vehicle speed control. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
The 3.0L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 37 litres, from its 12.4 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $192.20. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
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.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Rent it for a week first
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. Rent the RX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
