Congrats on the new 600hL! I also live in Omaha and drive a 2010 LS600hL that I bought used this year (from Sid Dillon Chevy in Blair, of all places!). I actually checked our your 600 at Lexus of Omaha when they got it. It was in decent condition, definitely not as nice as my 2010, but reasonably priced. The price kept dropping every couple of weeks until it became a fairly compelling value.

Are you certain it was the hybrid battery pack that was replaced and not the standard 12 volt battery? It would be very unusual for the hybrid batteries to be replaced at that mileage.

I wouldn’t be too fearful of the hydrocarbon switch malfunctioning. It’s a $7k fix, with few aftermarket alternatives, but doesn’t seem to actually impact the operation of the car. Since there is no annual emissions testing in Nebraska, you wouldn’t really need to do the repair if you didn’t want to.

I went with an amazing warranty from CMA that will cover my 600hL for 6 full years, including all suspension parts, electronics, and even the hybrid battery. It cost $2800 and has a $200 deductible. I paid $27,500 for my car this past spring. It had 66k miles and was totally loaded (including Executive seating). Original MSRP was $127k...

Hope to see you cruising around town in your beautiful car! I’ve never seen another 600 “in the wild” since I became aware of this car 5 years ago. Very rare!

Thanks for the inspiration, this car I felt is better than the 2014 LS460 CPo I actually looked at, I mean with all the features. How ever upon care full inspection of the service history, I noticed that the abs actuator has not been changed, it was cited that there is occasional squeekand possibly will have to be changed. I haven’t took the car yet as the check got delayed due to holidays, probably getting on Monday. So still debating . Iam considering talking to the dealership since it’s a safety issue. Don’t know if they will fix it .other than that a lot of stuff has been changed. What is your valuable oppenion on that. Enjoy your ride

thats awsome, warranty as far as I understand doesn’t do much good, it’s got mixed results. So I really want to skip it.the shocks are kinda garunteed to go out eventually, my plan is to go for a after market non air suspension. We have a Indy shop in Omaha that has a prior Lexus master tech working at. So iam hoping it won’t be so much of a burn. Thanks for ur advice sincerely

wow wow wow, small world huh. It’s nice to know there is one out, I haven’t yet seen a 600 ever on road. Great purchase , I would have bought a better one if one was available any where around 200 miles. These cars are so damn rare. I haven’t possessed the car yet. Sid Dillon Blair’s got a 460 l currently that iam planing to see tomorow , my quirk is black interior , which I hate. Other than that it’s a good one. This car happened to be the exact color and speck I always wanted, with a growing family (second child en way) I couldn’t afford the executive package, but it’s damn nice, may be when kids grow up.

This is car when I first went to check it was priced at 24 k and dealer ship gives this bull about upfront pricing. (Guess Lexus dealerships could afford it). Even Benz of Omaha can be negotiated down and they told straight to me that it’s because Lexus has grown. My experience with cpo Benz was awsome, 3 years and 25 k miles , no issues except I just don’t fit in it and it can barely take one infant car seat. Hence upgrading. .


Yes es it’s the hybrid battery was changed, the service record states that the customer was given 4K goodwill allowance. And heaven with hydrocarbon issue, m not fixing it if it pops up. The brake actuator is a bit of a concern for me as snow is gonna start and it’s my wife’s car.iam gonna try to see if they fix it.

how was ur experience with Sid Dillon. Did u buy the insurance through them? How can I purchase the same insurance as Lexus peddled after market insurance doesn’t inspire much. Where do u maintain your car. And who works with that insurance. Ur advice is much appreciated.

ps, why did u sell your previous 600. How was the experience .
holler at me when our paths cross, sooner or later. Enjoy ur awsome ride.

Here’s how the world is even smaller... The LS460L at Sid Dillon is the one I traded into them for my 600hL! That’s a very solid car, and in my mind is priced about right at $19,500. It used to be owned by the Lexus of Omaha used car sales manager (Freddie), and it has been extremely well cared for. I bought it in Feb from Lexus of Omaha for around $21k, I think. I had given up on finding the right 600. And then, of course, Sid Dillon had the 2010, and I struck a really aggressive deal with them on a trade in April/May timeframe. So they’ve been sitting on the 460L for a LONG time, and are probably very negotiable on it!

If you search the forum or look at my post history you can read all the details of my experience with my previous 2008 600hL, my brief experience with a Genesis G90, and my return to the 460L and now the 600hL. Bottom line: I really LOVE the 600, and it was dumb to ever trade my 2008 in. I’ll probably look for a used 2016/2017 600hL in 5.5 years when my warranty expires. There is no finer, quieter, or more refined car to be had for the price...

wow rick, small world Indeed, I will collect the 600 on Monday and run it up my Indy Lexus tech. And the. Take it from there, if things are not looking good. I will go see ur old car at Sid Dillon. I also is looking at a 460 l cpo I see in Lexus of omaha (not equipped to my liking)

i was looking king at some of your old thread and thought I will contact Jeff for a warranty quote. Is it okay to refer u, CNA sounds good. Which policy is that u took, also do u know Lexus of Omaha works with them. Also how’s the 600hl doing with our cold weather, I mean with your previous experience
