Hey Beyond, trying to get opinions from the hive-mind. My uncle is in the process of purchasing a new BMW X5 and has been offered $4500 trade-in value on his 2007 Lexus RX400h with 240,000 km.
He has offered me the vehicle for the same price, but I am concerned about the battery life, the age, and mileage on the vehicle. He has owned it since new and I know he keeps good care of his vehicles (all schedule maintenance has been performed, not driven hard) So my question for you is would you take the $4500 gamble on a 12 year old hybrid with 240,000 km on it.
Oh, and I have to decide by tomorrow, so no time to take it in for a proper inspection at the Lexus dealership.
