Thanks. I get it now.

Where on the dash is the ride height button ? 

Wondering if it can be seen in dashboard photos of cars for sale.

There will be an indicator in the dash and a ride height button plus on in the boot .

Thanks. I didn’t quite understand, maybe I am being a bit thick, what is a “ride height button plus on” in the boot ?

How can you tell if a 450h has air suspension ? 

For example, is there a button to adjust ride height that gives it away ?

Hi all,

I am looking for an RX 400h. My budget is not great so probably around a 2006 to 2008 car.

The car must be in great condition and history, ideally owned by fastidious owners who take pride in their cars, hence posting here.

If you are thinking of selling and would like to get a little more than a trade in price, I have cash waiting to buy, well, a bank transfer for everyone's protection 😉

I have seen a couple of 400h vehicles but they seem to have LED a hard life. I realise they attract mothers who are ferrying  around 2 to 3 kids but is it likely to find one owned by more mature owners or families or am I kidding myself ?

These Cat thieves look like they mean business. I doubt a Cat Lock is going to stop these guys:

The reliability of these cars is one of the attractions. 

Yes, dealers are definitely taking advantage of their ability to provide finance etc. Lexus dealers have nothing below £9k !

I don't need a dealer an can buy private so no big deal although many of these cars do seem to find their way into dealers as opposed to private.

There are a few around, as you say, and unfortunately I am at the lower end of the market, looking at 2005 - 2007 with high-ish mileage.

Very hard to find one that is in decent condition and with a proper full service history and a cambelt change at 100k miles.

Shocking to see many over 100k miles which have not had the belt changed 😞 

Thanks guys. Useful info to be armed with when looking at cars with supposedly full service history yet they only have 5 services in 12 years 😉

Thanks, great news on the air suspension. I didn't realise the 400h didn't have it.

What is the service interval for the 400h and when is the cambelt due a change ?

Hi all,

I am looking at getting an RX400h for family duties. Unfortunately my budget is not high and I am probably looking at a 2005-2006 100k miler or thereabouts.

Is there a buyer's guide someone can point me to? I did a search but couldn't find one.

In particular, other than normal car buying checks, what are the issue I should be aware of with regard to a hybrid 400h and at 100k plus miles.

Also, can someone enlighten me to as the specification differences. Is the below correct?

SE-L has Air Suspension and a Mark Levinson stereo over the SE ?

Therefore an SE has traditional suspension ?

Thanks in advance for all your help
