Still looking for the right RC. This has come up for sale local to me. It's my favourite colour and looks in good condition but should I be concerned about the mileage at 145,000 kms? The ad mentions main dealer history which is reassuring. https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/lexus-rc300h-2-5-petrol-hybrid-232-bhp-2016-161/38362501

I would have thought 100k kms is nothing for a car like this. My own car has 230,000 miles. As I said, Irish prices are generally crazy.

Considering buying a Lexus at the moment. Currently driving a diesel 2008 Volvo so this will be quite a change/upgrade for me. This has come up for sale and I was looking for an opinion on it: Used 2020 (201) Lexus IS 300 h 2020 IS 300h Sport in Dublin (carzone.ie) The dealer is offering me 1500 euro on my own car as a trade-in so it will come in at around 30,000 euro. Does this seem like decent value? Granted, cars are usually a lot more expensive in Ireland. This was originally a UK car, which probably explains the extras like the sunroof.

While we are on the subject of unusual colours... https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/lexus-rc-300h-f-sport-2-5-e-cvt-coupe/37511934 Certainly, eye-catching, but I'm not sure I could drive one that colour.

There's another one situated close by that is cheaper with less mileage: https://www.carzone.ie/used-cars/lexus/rc-300-h/fpa/3759115?journey=Search

Still looking for an RC and this has come up for sale. It's the right colour and year but is the mileage a bit high? https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/lexus-rc-300h-300h-2-5-f-sport-e-cvt-181bhp-2dr-a/37499659

This is after coming up for sale, it looks better than the last one I saw. Apparently it has a Mark Levinson sound system, is this a notable upgrade? https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/lexus-rc-300h-premier/36843874

Since Brexit I don't think it is really viable anymore. I'll just have to keep my eyes open here.

Went to view the car and very disappointed. All four wheels were badly kerbed and the interior looked very unclean and worn. For 30,000 euro I was expecting a lot more. It just didn't look like a car that was well looked after. Pity because they rarely come up for sale here,

I've since discovered this RC300h has the base audio. Is it really as bad as everyone says? I'm coming from a 2008 Volvo so expectations are not that high. It is a 2017 car so will have another three years with the Lexus warranty. Will the value of the car plummet after it reaches ten years of age? Plus points are that it is that lovely blue colour, only has 34,000 miles and is an F Sport.

I do mainly dual-carriageway / town driving. I don't do any massive motorway mileage but my daily commute is about 20 miles each way. I currently get 40mpg from my Volvo diesel so that's not a massive difference in economy.

Hi. Thank you for all the information. The garage that had the car I was interested in advertised it wrong, it is actually a 2.0 litre petrol version rather than the hybrid. I do a lot of driving so the straight petrol would be too expensive for me. However, they just got a hybrid into stock too. It is a 2017 F-Sport in blue with 34,000 miles. They are selling it for just under 32,000 euro. Do many of you do big mileage in your RC and how are they to live with? I do approx 17,000 a year.

I'm thinking of test driving a 2016 RC F Sport with approx 90,000 kilometres. I've never driven one before and don't know much about them. Just wondering what kind of things I should be looking for? I'm currently driving a diesel Volvo so this would be quite a change for me.

Unfortunately the price is quite reasonable for Ireland. I'm looking for a sunroof model which is hard to find here also. Thanks for the input.

https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/lexus-ct-2015-1-8-auto-hybrid-luxury-sport-extras/33963002?campaign=23 Thinking of going to have a look at this. Any advice?
