Welcome Rebecca, pictures encompass a thousand words !

I definitely will! Lucky to have an awesome Lexus specialist near me who will be taking care of her (hopefully only for routine servicing for the time being mind!).

Scuse the pointless post but no-one else will understand how ridiculously excited I am to be picking up my RX400h on Monday! My first ever Lexus although at this point anything would be better than my Peugeot! 😃

Thank you all so much for your help. You're a lovely bunch, we've made our mind up and are going for the RX! With one thing or another it'll be a month or two before we can purchase but I shall be straight back with pics when I have and will carry on perusing the boards to swoon over your cars.

Thank you all again, superstars!

Well I bought my 2007 56 plate 400h at the beginning of April last year with 113k on the clock and it now has 129k on it so I've done a fair few miles in it.  Reliability has been horrendous.  In that time I have had the spring clip on the fuel filler cap come off, an exhaust heat shield come off and the rear ride height sensor snapped meaning no headlamp levelling.  It has cost me £12 in repairs on a nearly 12 year old car which is outrageous!!!

I remember thinking to myself the other day "Why didn't I just buy a German diesel of the same age so that I can have the pleasure of listening to the soundtrack of a Massey Ferguson every day whilst choking people to death and spending thousands in repairs?"  Ah well I've bought the Lexus now so I guess I will just have to live with it 🤣 

Ha, the disgrace. On that point, the ride height sensor...on reading posts on here it is an expensive part from Lexus but a lot of you have made your own or bought on eBay? Am I correct?

Thank you for this, I keep looking at other models/makes but always come back to the Lexus. I do quite a few miles for one reason or another so it should be good as it isn't just fuel economy on longer journeys, it's comfort etc so what I'm probably asking is, could you please tell me to buy a Lexus! 

Been lurking for a while but thought I'd throw this question at you. I need to get a new car (a different car as opposed to new!). I've got £6-7k to spend and been looking at getting an RX400h as I really like idea of a hybrid mixed with the fact they aren't a Juke/Qashqui/Mokka etc. For this sort of money it'll be an older, higher mileage model but I've seen quite a few with full Lexus service history etc so my question is, would you still buy an RX400h or would you buy a newer, lower mileage 'other' car if you were me? TIA for any advice.
