Used values will start to settle down as supply chains ease and the inflated equity will be gone. I feel it will be a long time before dealers offer discounts off msrp even after supply issues are resolved. Wireless AA to me would be a big plus as adaptors have problems. NX forum did say phone gets too hot to leave in pocket.
New lease programs go into effect September 7th so you can check if there are any changes from August.

I had a drop in gas mileage. Took it to a private Lexus repair shop. Then tested the car and found a code showing one weak cell. Cleared code and said to drive it and see what happens. Still drives, Mileage has not improved. Later saw a readout saying HYBRID BATTERY LOW in cluster above odometer, no lights, no code. It did disappear. Called My local Lexus dealer, and went in. Returned to see report saying no problems found. Nothing to get Warranty Repair work done. I could get the cell replaced myself.To be honest I was thinking of a new car. This just did it. Still a Lexus fan, not so much the warranty.

Isn't there like an 8 year warranty on the hybrid battery? Maybe 10 years in Cali??

Yes, there is. But according to the service dept. you pretty much have to be towed in to get battery service. Battery repair is only total replace.
If it runs...
That's why I looked into battery repair shops.
