A quick hello

[Lexibg]

Just a quick hello to you all.😙

I was here about 6 years ago when I was considering a RX400h. I didn't get one and have had two cars since and I'm back again, this time considering a 2012/13 RX450h.  I would love a GS but need the space to pull a caravan and carry folding bikes.

Hope to have the RX in the next 6 months and so the search begins 😀

Hi here, welcome back.

What put you off the RX400h a few years ago and if you don't mind me asking...what have you been using in the meantime?

What's drawing you back to the RX450h this time?

Have you seen/driven any possible candidates?

Hello and Welcome to the forum!

If you have any intentions of completing any maintenance, modification or just general enthusiast type jobs on the Lexus when you get one! Now seems like the ideal time to start a thread on the Brand New build thread section to share you ideals and photos and hopefully get a few ideas and tips along the way.

Thanks for the welcome:

Boot space was the key issue as we wanted to take up caravaning.

I had a Scoda Yeti and now a Honda CRV.

"An itch that needs to be scratched" we test drove a number of RX400h back then and loved them but cost of ownership and size of boot was the deciding factors.

Time to take another look, the RX450h are now in reach for us price wise, our annual mileage is 6000 miles and we have a smaller than planned caravan at 1300 kg mtplm. 

I just need to get the balance between age, mileage and price right. Maybe 2012/13 to qualify for the lower service costs? Something less than 40,000 miles would be ideal.
