Possible Viewing Of New Used Car

[rayaans]

Checked with the dealer and this car does have all the toys.....however, I can get a LOT more toys on a high mileage 450h!!! for my budget.

Should I steer clear of a high mileage 4 or 5 year old 450h even though it has full Lexus Dealer servicing?

Mileage doesnt really mean anything on these. Theyll go 200k with minor problems.

I've seen a few series IIs at that mileage but never a series III. I'd like to think they can make 200k miles but no evidence so far, still too new. Even series II are rare at that mileage and you never know what issues the owners may have had.

A few more higher mileage ones in the US but the climate and driving conditions are quite different, miles are less demanding there.

That red is a lovely colour... not seen very often and a nice change.

Incidentally, my local dealer (Southampton Hedge End) has a white 400h for sale (I don't think it is on their website site yet). Again, a nice change from the norm.

Yes, both the red and white would be my choice, especially with the light leather, rather than black!! My daughters past the stage of making a mess inside my cars 😀

I LIKE the Red.

Does it have Air Suspension? Not that it matters - just wondered.

Seen 2 posts today mentioning timing chain problems on the 450h.

Seen 2 posts today mentioning timing chain problems on the 450h.

Is that on the RX or the GS? RX uses a different engine......

The timing chain needs less long term maintenance than a belt - shouldnt ever need replacing

Air suspension was never available on the RX400h, only on the RX300/350 (SE-L grade only)
