Try to read all the reviews and decide yourself. Toyota makes suv hybrids also. ie.. Highlander. Probably the same setup.

Question is this. "Is the extra luxury interior and RX400 exterior worth it to you?"

Hybrid components are covered to 100k/7 years fyi. Now there are hardly any reports of failure but something to think about with a hybrid with 97k already. Maybe get is inspected by Lexus to ensure its in good running condition.

Price sounds like they are trying to sell it, thats the lowest I've heard.

We love our 400h and I like my 450h.

I test drove it and it did not seem like it had any problems. The vehicle was only serviced by Lexus. Is there a way I can look up the information with the vin number. I think I'm gonna go for it.
