What should I be looking for when looking to purchase this?
A local seller has one available with low miles between 35k to 45k miles. The car is competitively priced, but my question is what should I be worried about in this vehicle. I need this car to last me atleast 2 years with minimal maintenance.

First what year, if its a 09' and up the mileage isn't that bad but if older I would look into why it wasn't driven a lot, hybrids should be driven more for the life of the battery lasting. I would check the water pump since they seemed to fail early also check if the history of the vehicle on Lexus site to find what has been done. I would have to say there really isn't a whole lot to check make sure you test drive it though. If worried about maint. get the brakes checked and the drive belt(not to be confused with timing chain) checked as well as the oil.
