The 35,000 miles are barely enough to break in the engine. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymm Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Any reason you prefer the 2010 other than it being newer? its $2,500 more and has 20,000 more miles both cars are similarly equipped wont i save about $1,000 plus yearly on gas with hybrid? Thanks again Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Jonathan The 2010 is a little more, but it is also two years newer and thereby will have less depreciation. I like the new refreshed body style of the 2010 RX350. If you are buying the hybrid, I would only buy it as a CPO, (Certified Pre-Owned), with a particular warranty on the battery. The battery will need to be changed at some point and is expensive. I haven't been convinced that the RX H has been that much better in mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Also, just as a matter of etiquette its extremely rude to come into our forum and blast multiple forums with the same post. One thread, properly posted is enough. I'm closing your other threads and linking them here... Anyways...which body style do you prefer? You ask us which is better, but really its your opinion that counts. Have you driven both? The hybrid powertrain is a little bit different driving experience. As for fuel savings, depends on how much you drive, and how you drive. The main benefit of the hybrid is found in the city, if you drive a lot of highway miles I think you'll find the economy is pretty similar between the two. Check out www.fueleconomy.gov. I think those prices are pretty high for both vehicles, especially that 2010 with those miles. I'd offer them $30k for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Personally I prefer the older body style....Also as has been said the RX400h is faster....Mileage wise We average 23.5 all of the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
