Hellos fellow members,
so I’ve been al long time lurker and I’ve gained a lot over the years from reading the forum.
Now I own a base 2020 ES250 fwd which costed me around $50k usd where I live, now I was offered this LC500h 2018 with 10000km on the odo,
I would have to sell my car and add around $35k usd to get the lc, btw the lc500h msrp here is around $125k usd
what do you guys think?
can this car replace my daily drive ES250?
and would it be a good daily car ?
and also is the hybrid drivetrain reliable and if I decide to keep the car for more than 5 years will i face any problems in the hybrid system such as battery or any components? or would it be as reliable as the gas counter part?
all comments are appreciated
thank you very much.

Where do you live? It doesn't appear to be VA, as your profile is showing.

I am actualy in the middle east 👍

A hybrid in the Middle East? That seems really odd to me. How much does gas cost there?

As for your question regarding daily driving. That depends on your commute. Way to many variables for an outsider to determine for you.

If you can swing the added cost, which isn't insignificant compared to the price of your ES, AND you don't need to haul more than 1 passenger the LC would be an incredible daily driver. I believe it uses the same power train as the LS500h and nobody would bat an eye at using that for daily driver duty.

If the car does need repairs, I would expect them to be more costly than for your ES. Since it's at a Lexus dealer, does it include a warranty? Do they do a certified pre-owned program in your market?

they actually do certify second hand Lexus and the car still has warranty up until 2023.
