Hi Mark, welcome to the forum.

The Hybrid system can be warrantied up to 10 years from manufacture, the annual check is something like £60 and performed free as part of a Lexus service.  

So how old is the vehicle you are looking at?

It would probably be 2006-7 but I would imagine it would be over the 100k miles for the warranty as my budget is only up to about £5k

Thanks all

Mark

Hi, just joined up so apologies if this has been asked before, but I did do a search with no luck.

Interested in getting a RX400h, but would be an older model. My question is, can you run just the petrol engine, for instance if there was an issue with the Hybrid system?

I noticed on the Lexus website:

"Either of them can power the car on their own, or the power from both units can be combined"

From here: http://blog.lexus.co.uk/how-does-lexus-hybrid-drive-work/

I'm only asking as a major sticking point in me buying one would be that the hybrid element would fail and leave me ££££ out of pocket.

Thinking of buying an older one, so the warranty would be no use anymore

Thanks in advance for any help

Mark
