Picked up my 2006 RX400h two nights ago! Silver with light gray interior. This baby only has 66k miles on it! Very well taken care of and looks like most of the service was done at a Lexus dealer when I registered with Lexus. I had been looking at the RX and knew that is what I was going to get, but wasn't really looking at the hybrid since they are usually so much more. This one came up and it was only a little more than some of the others that I had looked at with fewer miles so I went for it. Never had a hybrid so starting it is kinda weird still. There are a few things that it doesn't have that I wanted, but hopefully someone here can help me when I start making my mods! No navi and no bluetooth. (Need hands free in Texas now) Overall I am extremely happy with it! Traded in my BMW Z3 convertible (piece of junk) for this and the quality in just the leather is far beyond what I had expected. So soft and supple where the BMW was hard and stiff. Now trying to get my sister to buy one!
New to Forum.
2008 RX400h. 61,000 Miles. silver Mist paint with ivory leather interior. Black Birdseye Maple wood trim and steering wheel. It's a beauty and I bought it in 2009.
Mods:
Philips DaylightGuide DRL
Home-made Dash Mat
JDM slim Weathershield on all windows
Tinted front windows to match the rears.
Recently purchased a 2008 Lexus RX400h with 96,000 miles on it. It was previously a corporate fleet/manufacture car.
It is black on black leather, with Mark-Levinson sound system and towing package. Nice ride (other than struts I need to replace), very spacious compared to what I'm used to driving.

Welcome aboard, I too have a 2008 RX400h with 183000 miles, still going strong. By the way KYB struts are the most common choice.
Hello all. Just bought an 07 RX400h for my wife. Silver on black, AWD, Mark Levinson, 90K, one owner. It's quite a fantastic rig actually and is still averaging around 26.5. We love it! Anyway, looking forward to getting to know some people here and learn as much as possible about this. I am an active forum user for every car I have and have had.
Just enjoy keeping my2009 Lexus RX 400H clean and very shining

Hello everyone! Nice to be here. Recently had a kid, so had to upgrade space from a 2001 IS300 to this RX400h.

Hi guys, as you can see in the pics, I have a cargo carrier in the back, which now blocks my factory backup camera. I also added a bike rack to this cargo carrier, with another hitch mount underneath. Any ideas on where to place an aftermarket backup camera now? I was thinking somewhere on the rear spoiler, or possibly just underneath the rear spoiler. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
I will take more pictures later with the bike rack attached.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Just bought mine, 156k miles, USD$7900. Runs perfect. New brakes, oil change, tires, inverter, bike roof rack, 18" wheels, Mark Levinson, DVD/TV Entertainment.

Previously owned a Prius and a bunch of different Jaguars. I will keep the RX until I can afford a CPO Jaguar F-Pace in 2-3 years.
My Father's Day gift from my wife bought on 6-17-17 is a 2008 RX400h in pristine condition inside and out. Just got onto this forum and am new to posting here.
Love it so far. On trip home 80 miles at 80mph got 19.5 mpg. 115 degrees hot with a/c on high so pleased.

Congrats and welcome!
I've had mine for six months and am enjoying the excellent 26-28 mpg (under 70mph, a/c on low) and also the exhilarating bursts of power from the electric motor.

I just returned from Tucson, AZ where I had my RX400h in to fix an oil leak from an over tightened drain plug that distorted the crush washer. Friday next to my driveway I completed the ISC Reset procedure. Had to go to Benson to "spread goodwill and cheer". Left home 6:45 am outside temp at 82* -1/2 mile to I-10 west then to Benson at 80 mph. My home elevation is 4150' and in 19 miles it rises to 4975' then down hill in next 16 miles to Benson at 3550'. A/C on of course. At the stop sign mpg registered 27 mpg. So ISC Reset works. Back home temp 95* at 80mph at home 77 miles round 24.1 mpg. This am went to Royal Lexus of Tucson -76 miles again at 80 mph for 70 miles then 45 rest of trip 99* stopped and had 30.1 mpg on clock. Back home had 24.1 mpg -104* at 80mph a/c on med. Pleased as punch!
New to the forum, but have been reading your great posts over the last several months. Picked this pristine vehicle up in Toronto last year with 88k km on it!
Was an "wealthy owner with OCD", as the dealer said, so everything was very well maintained.
