When you depress the brake pedal, it will prevent the car from rolling backwards while stopped on a hill (even while you're not depressing the accelerator). Of course, you'll turn it on even if the car is flat.
I do it all the time since my condo is on a small hill...

Here's a '10 with NAV and list over $41K and asking price is $29997 at a Lexus dealer near me and they have '08 IS250AWD's for the same cost and a thousand + more.

That is around the price a well equipped HS should have cost. The HS does not seem like a terrible car, it is just way overpriced for what it is which is why there is no interest. Most buyers are expecting high 20's, very low 30's loaded at most for a car like that. High 30's to low 40's is just too much especially when most buyers are trying to save money when buying a hybrid. You can get a much nicer ES, RX, or IS for what many HS are going for and that is the problem.
It' has to be at least $5K more with the HIDs and other items the Camry doesn't have.Also the Lexus badge.

Lol who are these "most"buyers? While I don't think the HS is for me it offers a lot of features that a lot of cars at any price does not have. ECO interior, front cameras, radar galore, LED headlights etc etc. It still gets 35 MPG which ia better than any luxury car not the Lincoln MKZ hybrid.
Relatively stable gas prices simply do not help hybrid sales.
The recall didn't help sales either.
Let's not all get in the habit of beating up the HS. There are still many owners here who have one. It's extremley rare for Lexus to miss a target widely as they did here.

Henryand Joe, again not Disageeing it's overpriced but it's ridiculous to say it should be in the 20k range when a pos fake hybrid insight or crz is in the 20s with options and a loaded Prius is 30k and as Joe state his car was 32k.
The mKs hybrid also starts at 35k FYI

I think HS problem is that it is too small and too pricey for US market.

$33K list.
I'd go more high $30's fully equipped.OK,maybe $41K with the radar and LEDs but $49.9K?Nah.
It does have some nice features available.LED headlights are not one for me,though.I'd rather have the HIDs.

I get the feeling people here are thinking the OP's listed car is new. If it were, over $10k off list would not be happening, as the dealer would be losing money. This car is used with 13k miles.

That car will sell for say $28K and that's $13K off the sticker.
The trade in was probably $25K-$26K.The original owner took a hit.
It might be a loaner,though.
With the $3K manufacturer to dealer incentive,that $41K sticker HS probably can be bought for around $35K.
