The 2002 Lexus RX for buyers
No 2002 Lexus RX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. For anyone shopping for the 2002 Lexus RX, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the RX
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. NHTSA has 100 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, vehicle speed control and air bags. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
What the specs mean
The 3.0L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $203.10. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the RX is like
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 906 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
Try the RX on your commute, then decide. Drive the RX on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
