Thinking of buying the 2003 Lexus RX?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2003 Lexus RX for sale by us right now. Here is the 2003 Lexus RX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the RX

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 29 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and air bags; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Specs, explained

The powertrain here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. Expect about $20.31 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. In plain terms, its 906 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Good uses for the RX

It suits people who want car handling with extra load space. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If the RX is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the RX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. 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.

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Still deciding?

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

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 2003 Lexus RX from us first.
