Thoughts on RX400 Purchase
Thoughts on RX400 Purchase
Just waved goodbye to the IS300 and am now looking for my RX.
Narrowed it down to a couple of vehicles and would be grateful for some advice/input!
1.
Grey (my prefered colour)
2 previous owners
SE-L Spec- plus rear screens
1yrs MOT
1yrs Tax
1yrs Lexus Warranty
83k
Light leather inerior
8 miles away
2.
Silver
Same owner from new
SE-L Spec plus rear screens
1yrs MOT
6 months Tax
95k
Black Leather
100 miles away.
Both cars are RX 400's, both same year reg, both have full history.
Car one is up for £11950
Car two is up for £10000
Realistically expect 1k off those prices for a sale, so £11 and 9k. Book price is about 12-13k...
So, question is, what would you go for??

I love the darker colour but would have to have dark interior can't stand light leather.
Hard to choose so really I'm no help at all :lol:

Probably for the best.

So really is a choice between the colours than anything else!

If it's clear the sole owner of the second car has taken good care of it I'd lean towards the second as I'd be comfortable with its history. However it sounds as though the first car is from a dealer, in which case it's probably safe too, plus there's more room to haggle down.
