07 gs450h
I am interested in purchasing a car for my wife, a used car that is somewhat nice and won't cost me an arm and a leg. So I found a nice looking GS450H for 13k and it has 88k miles. Which sounds great to me. He did mention that he has had 2 cells replaced and that the battery is the original one. Should I be concerned that it's had problems already?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Cells go bad. This guy went the smart way and replaced the individual cells vs getting gouged by Lexus for a new battery pack.
That's decently low mileage for a 2007. Did you look up the service history?
It sounds like a pretty good deal.

Yeah you should ask the guy where he got the cells replaced. So if it happens again, you don't have to fork out for the whole battery.
Also, the 450H is actually worse for economy in highway driving, the advantage is only in city driving.

If the battery had cells replaced then it should be like a new pack. I am not sure why people still fear the hybrid system.
