Trade in: the 2007 Lexus RX
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Lexus RX for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2007 Lexus RX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 289 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, structure and steering; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
It uses the 3.3L 6-cylinder hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The EPA rates it at 9.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $41.85 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the RX
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
What to expect from the RX
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
A longer test drive
A test week in the RX tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the RX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Year and trim
Within the 2007 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel. 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.
