I am amazed at what I see on a daily basis in the car business. One of the things that impresses me the most is when someone invests the time to properly care for their car. In this video I'll show you what has to be in the top 5 of best cared for vehicles that I've ever seen. I will also answer the question that I always get asked concerning a hybrid vehicle. "Will a hybrid last as long as a non-hybrid vehicle?" Spoiler alert!!! The answer is, YES!!!

Our 2006 RX 400 H has over 307,000 miles on it and it still doing great! It’s on the original battery and the battery is still working perfectly. The trick for long life is buying a quality vehicle and then maintaining it properly. As for the battery be sure you vacuum out and keep the rear vents clean and the battery will last a long time!

@right2mike 4 года назад

The hybrid battery on my 2007 RX400h was replaced by the dealer four years ago at 268,000 miles. We're now at 308,000 miles and still going strong. Still drives smooth, everything still works, interior's still nice, transmission's still perfect and engine still uses no oil. Half of me wants to upgrade to a newer one but the other half asks, why?

I have a Lexus 400h with a wood steering wheel and wood shifter, it's an option.

@godfatherNYC 6 лет назад

Batteries on Hybrids now are nothing to worry over. The individual cells can be replaced for relatively cheap when they finally quit.

@Tiffani- 4 года назад

can that be done at a Lexus dealership?

@jblyon2 6 лет назад

Hybrid battery failures do happen at lower mileages, but it's just as rare as an engine failing at lower mileages, and typically only a single battery cell goes bad and not the entire pack. Toyota/Lexus batteries have an excellent lifespan because of how well controlled the charge & discharge cycles are. Some older Honda hybrids have been the exception to this as their design brought the battery to maximum and minimum charge levels too frequently and longevity suffered. Most manufacturers follow (or even license) Toyota's hybrid designs.

Great video, and great used RX. I agree that proper maintenance is the key, but sadly too many service centers and repair shops make it a goal to rip people off. The fear of getting taken advantage of scares people who can’t afford to be ripped off. I’ve worked around the car business and talked to many people who fear dealerships and service centers more than dentists or the boogeyman! Sad that businesses do that so there aren’t more cars like this RX on the road today.

My brother in Laws car Honda Accord 1995 had 500,000 Kilometres on the clock when he traded it. He kept it serviced with what the factory manual said at the right time. Key to maintenance free driving is servicing according to manufacturers specifications. Problem is many people don't because they can't be bothered, are ill informed or the servicing is too expensive.

Ha! I've got a 2004 RX330 with 350k miles. Still running great. It's not rare to find 10 yo Lexus this clean. The reason, if the car is reliable (not causing all kinds of headache) the owner tends to take good care of it.

@derekkchung 5 лет назад

I hate salesmen. I have a 2007 prius and after about 150K and 8 years of use, the battery pack needs constant cell replacement (and no, I can't afford to replace the whole pack one shot). Those cells just don't last. If you tell me this 2007 R400h uses different cells and they are better, then, I might be interested. Otherwise, it is just a salesman talking, hiding all the facts.

@lancerhu8107 4 года назад

Hybrid batteries last by years, not by miles. High mileage vehicles usually have freeway miles and the battery is only moderately used when slowing down and speeding up. Low mileage vehicles usually have local miles and the batteries are used extensively in stop-and-go traffic. The batteries in all 12 year old hybrids are similar, regardless of the mileage.

If the engine has a 60/mile warranty and toyota/lexus engine are known for their 500,000+ mileage, then a 100,000 mile warranty on a battery should last even longer.

@chinojarjos 6 лет назад

The battery on these kind of cars are most likely going to get 200k plus miles, even if you had to replace the battery or fix the battery cells these cars will still run over 300k miles, making well worth the fix no way to go run on a Lexus/toyota Hybrid. They will always pay off in the long run.

@timoklap 6 лет назад

I have a 2013 450h with 39,000 miles. Original msrp $57.5k. I bought it in 2015 with 18k miles on it. The original owner ordered it and it must have been the last 13 made because the plate says 7/13/13 for manufacture date. Didn't make it to the USA until September and wasn't titled until December of 13. I am thinking of trading it for a pick up truck (which I drove for 40 years) but I know it's going to last forever. I do synthetic oil change and all of the filters myself, the white parchment leather is as new. It's been (by me) clay barred, polished (Meguiar's Ultimate Polish) and Quick and Slick to finish and maintain mirror shine. The claret mica metallic is beautiful in sunlight. I got stopped in the neighborhood at a speed trap and as the cop was writing out the ticket he wanted me to verify it was a 2013 lol. The only option I I wanted but did not get is the Levinson sound system.

Secret to a clean car-no food including soda in the car and seat covers for the first 10 years. We only allow on road trips water, raw vegetables and crackers that are not greasy in our cars and a lot of wet wipes for little and big fingers, wax the outside annually and wash weekly the outside with water only and wipe down everything inside with the damp towel that you dried the car and change the oil when the maintenance light comes on. Our cars never rust and we have a a 19 year old Chev Silverado (original owner) that looks like it is 2 years old. Sugar and other sticky foods attracts dirt and before you know it you are driving in a trashed car.

Keep replacing parts and any car will last. Tell us what she paid in repair costs. You said she always had it maintained there and only there. Let's see what she spent to get the car to 256,000! How many sets of brakes? How many batteries? Drive motors, spark plugs, timing chain replacements? I think she is selling the car because it's time for the timing chains to be replaced again. Can hear them in the engine rattling when you opened the hood.

The 2006 rx400h has a timing belt.

What would you guys say about a 2010 Lexus rx450h with 116k miles? Should the battery be a concern for me? What other issues if any should be of concern? I took it to Lexus dealer and had them do a check up, and it came back good.

My dad bought my mom a 25,000 mile RX400h in 2009 which was passed on to my older sister in 2014. Traded it for a GLK at 164,000 miles because it was time for an upgrade. Kids destroyed that car and so did the automatic car washes, but that car didn’t have any trips to the shop other than maintenance!

@LilMalice 6 лет назад

What damages did the automatic car washes do the the RX 400h ?

Lexus/Toyota are the Best AutoMaker that's why BMW wants too work with Toyota

BMW better not make Toyota bad

@julianschmidt4905 4 года назад

Anthony Molina They already did with the new supra seat belt mount. Of course BMW is responsible. Even partnering with Suburu was a wrong decision (head gasket on the GT86).

@dr.feelgood4266 4 года назад

He is talking about the new Supra is really a BMW with Toyota’s reliability

@LacoteCohen 6 лет назад

That still has a lot more miles to go

@nikolayyordanov23 6 лет назад

How about the battery was it replaced?

@eman0828 6 лет назад

Milage has nothing to do with the life span of the Hybrid battery. It's the age. You can drive indefinite miles. The average life span is about 10-11 years. The middle cell modules degrade faster than the outer surrounded ones due to heat. It's usually a couple modules that will get so low that it throws the entire pack out balance causing it to fail.

@securemaple 5 лет назад

Eman 08 is that why 10 year old hybrids are going cheap!!??

@dr.feelgood4266 4 года назад

It’s both age and miles and how hard you drive them and how often you drive to keep charged up

Lexus now is what Daimler used to be decades ago, super durable, but with much better reliability.

@HowToCarGuy 6 лет назад

That's a great point! Thanks for the contribution!

Jealous for this lady. Going from a '06 Lexus to a brand new '18 fully loaded. Impressive. I would not buy a car with 256k+ miles unless it was a total steal, no matter how clean it looks on the outside.
