Hi All,
I'm new here and I'm on the cusp of buying a 72 plate 350h with Premium Pack. I've driven it and it's a really comfortable car with a great ride and fab build quality - a few more miles than I'd like, but nothing to worry about. My last six cars over the last 20 years or so have all been BMWs or Volvos and I've never owned a Lexus, but already I can see the benefits of owning one. Before I press the button though I wondered if some of you'd be good enough to help me out with a few questions - yes I could ask the dealer of course but I suspect I'd get a sales answer and not a real world one! And I apologise now if some of them seem daft to you all...
So;
Apart from the usual checks (condition, history etc) when buying a used car is there anything specific I should be checking for on this model. Battery health, recalls etc. I saw something about missing spot welds which is a bit concerning, but the Lexus recall lookup doesn't find the particular car I'm looking at.
On the test drive I thought that the road rumble on the motorway was a little more intrusive than I expected. Does anyone else find this and/or can it be improved with quieter tyres like Michelins for example.
Are there any common niggles or glitches that just annoy people? or anything else you think I ought to know?
Sorry to pump you all for info but I'm hoping that you're all happy to share and make me more enlightened that I would be otherwise.
TIA
Pete
