Hopefully I made the right decision in the long run by trading in my 2013 RX350. I got it for 39k + TTL, MSRP was 56k I thought it was a good deal that I couldn't pass up!. My only concern was the hybrid battery since it was sitting on the lot for 10 months and had 150 miles on the odometer. Should I be worried? Input please! Thanks

 

If it's going to fail, it'll do so long before the warranty is up, so I don't see any reason for concern.

 

Dennis1123, congrats on your 450h. The hybrid batteries are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Like rj4510 said, you'll be under warranty in case anything happens.

 

Even though NiMH batteries are known to have a noticeable rate of discharge when not used, I would think even on the lot it probably got a few test drives over that time period. It doesn't take long for the car to bring the hybrid battery back up to normal charge

 

that's an incredible deal. congrats.

 

Call the law you stole it at that price. Enjoy your new vehicle.

 

A great decision. My wife and I in the last 12 months have both bought a 2013 ES300h and a 2015 RX450h. You do not go in a buy a hybrid when gas is $4 a gallon. The ES was the same price as the ES350's on the lot and the RX was about $1,500 more than the RX350's. We would never buy a non hybrid now.

 

Great deal. I wished I had your luck and skill

Congrats on your new RX!
