just found this on the Lexus UK website- seems the warranty includes 2 years breakdown as well and you can pay monthly over ten months- just gets better value the more i read Key Features: Coverage available on Lexus models up to 10 years old or 140,000 miles*. All policies include Lexus Roadside assistance with European cover. MOT Cover included to protect you from unexpected repair bills. Cover for car hire and hotel expenses if required.** Cover for the majority of parts and labour charges. Repairs carried out by an official Lexus Service Centre. Unlimited mileage cover.

thanks Carl- if you become a gold member do you get 10% off the warranty as well? seems that would pay for itself in one go must admit thats great news- the costs that i have seen are a bit offputting so from what you say this would be the best option and puts a decent private sale into the equation if there any criteria of car/mileage etc to be able to qualify for the warranty?

Thanks Mark, i suspect the 2 yr warranty would give great peace of mind but i doubt i will be able to afford a dealership car at their prices. the health check tho sounds a good deal. i am currently in the philippines so only able to do my research online but will be back in the UK soon to take up a new position which will involve a fair bit of driving- hence deciding on the Lexus after reading many reviews about how comfortable it is. and great advice about them being slow movers so deals to be had- music to my ears

Newbie to the forum here looking at ( well really i WILL be buying) a 450h- i have a budget of @ £5,000-£7,000 so i would expect a 06-57 plate and preferably under 100,000 miles which from a good look at autotrader seems doable. FLSH is a must but are there any other things to look for in particular also a question re the battery/hybrid system- is it age or mileage that would be most detrimental to the system? also also my most local Lexus dealership is Bolton- any good? i know the area and suprised that theres a lexus dealership there as its quite rough round those parts lol
