#1
Here's my question.Does the rx 400 lexus hybrid worth the 20000 euros at its lowest price??used lexus cars

I am telling my dad to buy it as he wants an offroad vehicle for his farming.
A friend has driven it and told me that it is worth the off road name.It and gonna do road gaps or haul over rock gardens but it will tow my dads tomatoes and logs and manure and etc...

What i do not know is the maintenance hybrids' need.And if the electrical system need any of it's parts replaced after some miles/years.

All the info will be apreciated!!

I had heard a while ago, the likes of Toyota Prius (??? correct me if I am wrong) with the batteries, they should be replaced in 5 or 7 years (can't remember again) and that is the expensive part, shockingly expensive.

Top Gear did a show on an american all battery powered car. It had 7000 lap top type batterys in it . At 10 bucks per battery that's $70.000. B4 you buy the hybrid try to find out battery life (years ) & replacement cost.
