I am considering buying a 11 year old RX450h, but concerned about the hybrid life and repair. Can you advise:
1 - What is the hybrid battery life experience in NZ? (I think it has a NImH battery? It may have had an expired 10 year guarantee?)
2 - Who (in Christchurch) has experience in servicing / repair / replacement of them?

I have herd of hybrid batteries in general lasting between 5 - 10 years in the past.

Unfortunately few people have the expertise or equipment to accurately assess the vehicles hybrid battery condition, seek further advice from Lexus of Christchurch I have attached their phone number, perhaps also seek a quote for a battery replacement.
