A couple of RXs at a local trader


Recommended Posts

There's a place I drive by regularly that specialises in 4x4s and SUVs. He's had an RX or two in previously, the last 450h went fairly quickly.

I noticed a smart red 60-reg RX appear on his forecourt earlier in the week: https://www.tradex4x4.co.uk/cars/lexus/rx/450hv6vvt-ie-cvtautose-i/345344/

LEXUS RX

I had time to stop today and have a look at it, when I found he'd got another one as well: https://www.tradex4x4.co.uk/cars/lexus/rx/450hv6vvt-ie-cvtautose-l/346876/

LEXUS RX

Red car would be the one for me if I had to choose with the great colour and interior combination, lower mileage, one less owner and no air suspension, and it's £1500 cheaper. Both had full matching sets of tyres and looked like decent examples, interesting to see what mine could look like in a few years' time. He might be a buyer for mine in years to come (although I'm still thinking I'll buy mine at the end of the PCP, with fairly low mileage and known history I'd be silly not to).

Cheapest RX at Steven Eagell is a 2011 with 66k miles at £15.975. I haven't noticed any signficant price drop on any of their cars, wonder how they'll do for sales in the current climate? I bet if they were offering a part-ex valuation, they'd say the market is flat and no one's buying anything, but if wanting to make them an offer the opposite would be the case.....

Agree, the red looks better... and unless you wanted those ugly rear DVD screens on the silver one, I'd reject it that basis alone. Am I correct in thinking the 450h still suffered the water ingress issues of the previous versions? I've certainly seen very misted up 450h's around during winter. So maybe check for smells and damp carpets.

Yeah the red does look nice. The cream interior looks fairly scuff free, but I'm not sure how long it would be before I marked it.

Still can't decide if I should have waited for a custom order with the Mesa Red when I was buying. This one looks a bit lighter than the ES I saw in the red at the showroom but that was back in Feb.
