RX450h - What to look for ?

[Bl1ng]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. On Tuesday I bought a 2010 RX in SE-L Premier spec but without air suspension. Paid a little more than I had originally planned, as you do, but it is in beautiful condition. Really happy with it 😀

Nice one mate, any pics? What did you spend in the end

Enjoy!

What tyres are on it?

Good to know you found the right car, hopefully in a colour acceptable to all concerned?!

Yes it is grey with almost new Michelin cross climates all round. Here are some photos:

Well...

Given events of this morning, I think we are in a similar 'boat'.

My wife says, it must be blue. Hmmm

I am thinking comfort not performance ( an RX 450h ), main dealer + warranty + luxury + reversing camera, up to 20K, probably not air suspension...

So I am guessing a 'Luxury' or 'Premier', 2012+

[ Forgive me, I am thinking out loud, but any final nuggets most welcome. ]

Sorry to read about the issue with your 350.

I've seen that car listed, looks good to me. Pretty much exactly what I have as a 64-reg Luxury, except that one has the extra undertray parts and roofrails. Mileage is even quite close (I'm just coming up to 40k). It's low for the year, just make sure it has good ownership and service history.

I haven't bought a car from the Lexus side of Ipswich, only an Avensis from their neighbours. Given the experience I got at another Lexus dealership when I bought my RX, I wish I'd been patient and waited for the right car to turn up at Ipswich (or at least in their group). I take the RX there for servicing and they're fine on that.

An Advance has a slightly higher toy count, but the Luxury has pretty much everything you'll need and definitely avoid the Premier if you don't want air suspension.
