There are a very limited number of people that know anything about the Lexus 600H - the number sold was essentially 10 years ago - in the last few years maybe a handful per year.

Any maintenance, other than oil changes etc will have to be at Lexus eye watering hourly rate.

Not all Lexus dealers put their approved used cars on Autotrader. On the Lexus website there is a 2008 LS600H with 90,000 miles in Guildford and another with 21,000 miles in Coventry. Even at that age, I believe they will still come with a comprehensive 1 year warranty.

Although we actually have two Lexus hybrids in our family, I'd agree with SLO76, at that age with such a large and complicated car, keep to the non hybrid version.

>>Current costs for the LS600 are Intermediate £245 and Full £425 and all services include the hybrid health check.

Routine servicing is "reasonable" the ££ problems occur when there are repairs - even requirements of exhausts, brakes, air suspension not to mention electronics are eye watering & then £120+/ hour soon adds up - it might be a £15K LS600H but the labour rates & parts are still that of an £80K car.

There are few people in the UK with in-depth knowledge of an LS600H within Lexus & outside the Lexus franchises?

I had a lawyer as a customer 40 years ago - modest computer to run client accounting - 2 screen system cost roughly £100K, annual maintenance was £8,000.. He wanted to ditch the contract & do PAYG for parts & labour (no callouts in nearly 3 years). Labour was then some £120 / hour - he replied "I can get a QC for less!" My retort was " But can he fix your computer?
