Hello, I have to ask WHY are you buying from a Lexus main dealer ? You will get a lot more for your money and a better deal if you look on Autotrader. Just make sure that it has a full Lexus service history. If you do buy from a non Lexus dealer or privately, you will not get the faultless Lexus warranty, which is a shame. What I have always done is buy from a non Lexus dealer (or privately) and with the money I saved, I then just purchased the Lexus Extended Warranty and I was still quids in !! Good Luck.

Thanks McLeish, Well, I have a trade in, and they are offering me a good price, I have looked on Autotrader, but the bulk of the Rx400's are trade, and all about the same price. Not in a big rush to buy, so am offering a take it or leave it deal.

My main concerns are the mileage, I do around 7k a year, and this has 62k on it, what I would like is any feedback on any issues from owners who have bought Rx400's around this mileage age etc mpg that people in reality get, which is the main reason for me trading the ravenous Antara!!

Sometimes Lexus Dealers can offer some very good deals - so buying from them is about doing your own research. If the figures add up, then why not buy from them? But you really do have to do your homework.

Same goes for any 400h you may be looking to buy. Draw up a shortlist, test drive as many as you can and then see if the 400h suits your driving style and use. I always suggest to people to consider the 350 instead of the 400h, as it is a more competent vehicle and with the savings over the Hybrid, you might wish to consider.

Either way, P/X or not, its about doing your homework. Good luck!
