Default Trading a 2015 rx350 for a 2015 rx450h

I would like to trade my 2015 rx350 for a 2015 rx450h. Any idea if it would be worth it? The options I have are Comfort, Premium, Navigation, and AWD. I have just under 40,000 miles. My driving habits would not warrant a Hybrid but longevity might be Plus. I’m not sure if the Hybrid would be quieter and ride better? I welcome your thoughts and comments.

Save your money. Neither is more reliable than the other.
However, it boils down to what will your out of pocket costs be to make this lateral trade to gain a few miles per gallon. The loss of cash in the difference between trade-in value & purchase price, plus tax, title and registration fees may never be made back with the gas savings from the hybrid. Save your money in a CD for future unanticipated repairs and maintenance. It will be a better investment.

Great advise, I’m sure the added cost of trading and the extras won’t be worth the deal. Just dreaming!
