Default Hybrid issues?

Hello all,

I'm considering a hybrid 2010 rx 450h, however the car has been sitting in the dealers lot for approx 4 months.

Does this cause any issues with the hybrid components and batteries?

Please advise.

Not sure I can answer your question, but what kind of a warrranty are they going to give you? If those components went south, it could be really costly.,

Letting any vehicle sit for an extended period of time is not good. The Lexus manual states the RX should be driven/turned on at least once every 20-30 days. I'd be concerned the 12V battery on a '10 450h may already be on its way out. If the RXh is being sold CPO, you will get 3 years/up to 100,000 miles warranty. The hybrid system warranty is 8 years/100,000 miles.

Have you driven it?
