I just got one. Traded in my IS 220d sport for a white RX 400h exec with sunroof. I´m swedish so I guess the price I got (a very good deal IMO) is not compareable.

So I will trade from the IS forum above to this one.

Most definitely. But I already have one (3rd RX, 4th Lexus).

For a 1 year old vehicle as an SE/SE-L (both with Nav which is highly recommended for re-sale anyway), I would be looking to pay £26-29K depending on mileage, condition and spec. The newest Rx400h SE-Ls have the posher screens mounted onto the rear head rests, rather than in them. (These are supposed to be higher quality, but I think most people prefer the look of the older ones.) So these vehicles will be the latest of the SE-L stock if you want to spot the difference.

On the mileage side of things, and I don't know if anyone has though about this before, but......in a hybrid, the car is sometimes on electric, sometimes on gas, sometimes on both. So a 10,000 mile care might only have the engine wear and tear of say a 7,000 mile petrol only car!

I would also think its a good time to get a 400h as surely dealers will be happy to move stock with the gradual introduction of the 450h.
