Hi all, Thank you for all your responses. Much appreciated. Apologies for the delayed response. I have watched a few YouTube videos regarding the water ingress and it seems to be a common issue due to the poor design. It would appear that the drains are located close to the electric which seems to be causing no end of problems when water gets in. The rear ones seem to be causing issues with the hybrid batter which concern me a bit. Some people have reported engine suddenly cutting off while driving which allegedly has been caused by the lost connection to hybrid battery. Apparently, it has been caused by the water ingress. Has anyone of you experienced or has heard about anyone experiencing similar issue? I have done some further digging and it would appear that Toyota/Lexus recalled some RX models back in 2013 due to issues with the transistor solder. https://www.vehicle-recall.co.uk/recall/R/2013/104. Have you ever had any issues with the hybrid batter in general? Regarding the car, I have decided against it mainly due to the price. It’s a really nice example in a beautiful colour combination indeed, but a little bit too much for the age. Thank you for pointing out the fact that the seller has zero feedback. I didn’t realise it at first, but indeed it’s a bit strange. I have tried to find out more about the company itself, but very little can be found online. Not even a website, which seems a bit odd to me. Good to know that SUVs are categorised as estates on the V5C. I didn’t know this, and assumed that it was a typo. So, I am still looking…. I have established that if it’s the RX400H then my max budged is approx. 7.5k. I am considering the following one. I will appreciate any comments, please. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155890340151?hash=item244bc9d137:g:kL4AAOSwMEZlVOuW&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwNiI6gKLSSk75YH1Kfs%2FmVBOoFgJG90q%2BfonKaD4K%2FYhmIjP0ShuyekSd%2Fz8pbm6tncBUxp8Rt7eLPmrYoIMVFoIKPIhS8yoUpWhcdqtPfPRPBz7YZqP1Ur36nDxKBJVm%2FOZ0MnXURwm5Tc2Uc9q%2B0HMCg7cftgkg7uyRm9%2Fj0ODKyCz1UPrpMSGna8kmej3YBH2Jt6otxtSFQVN58o501WyDDQTsPtgmX0GS0CWAhICiXzH4zQMb0zHuau94xk9cw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7bvkuv_Yg If it’s the RX450H then I could stretch to max 10k. What do you think about the mileage on the RX450h? I have been looking through the ads on the Autotrader and most of the cars have around 100k miles on the clock. Is it worth considering any at this mileage?

Hi All, I am looking to buy RX400H or RX450H (low milage) for daily use (school runs/shopping etc). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305178279181?hash=item470e0afd0d:g:UR4AAOSw0HFlHGTp&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4MrUSPSp3MJlrZmK0%2FO3QIf58SGGR47rksuSAD%2BusRdJNV4IYJfHmQ2NVJ%2FODup9eCm%2BlWcnVxZd4bKQN7fYaWrx1oWcYLjYTB7C%2BsWF5p0wrhCFjEecEXNxUGxpy9jgKcH4y5SI2O0lHS5wMXM3rXYwcR%2F2NWWABdp3CNJY1bsdHtz3oS0OIvPm7%2Bz9LgpOzXaIVwva9UFVzFUcxdIncM5f0hqJ%2B1x72%2FykBOr4%2BItZGxDxP7G5eWcplRftWg2hRvtviUBeyLQzWe0rHqQSk166O1KAYWNx5A4qY1O7X7E7|tkp%3ABk9SR7Ch_PL7Yg Would any of you be willing to advise if its worth considering a car of this age and at this price? Also, what are the mosts common issues you have experianced, please?
