Conor was closest with petrol, manual, rwd.Not a ford, not 4x4.I has bought a 2001 Lexus IS200SE manual.FSH, 81k on the clock, half leather/half (Suede/Alcantera what ever it is), Radio/cassette/indash 6 disk.Loverly condition, only sign of any kind of mileage is the scratches to the chrome ball gearknob probably caused by wedding ring. Sunroof, lecky seats, windows, mirrors, heated seats, mirrors. Few chips on the bonnet that they didn't get chance to sort out today.Probably paid a little over the odds, but they can't down £600 of the screen price, and £440 off the lower price I noticed they had it on the internet for.Large independant dealer. "I'll do you a good deal" became, "Giving the you the internet price is a good deal", until I suggested we go look at an ex fleet octavia I had seen. Then he had to go talk to his manager.Cambelt should be due at 100k, but I might go see about getting it done with the next service and get it out of the way.MOT is only until March which is a bit shit, but nothing clonks rattles or shows signs of anything expensive.Service history is Lexus all the way, tyres are all new, and it has had a couple of sets of disc/pads in its time.

I no longer think of you as another 'young' guy in the group. I'm so, so disappointed in you that it has come to this, please don't start thinking anything less than a few mpg will make a noticeable difference to the fill up cost.

I'm more than happy if my average tank comes in over 30mpg.

Which reminds me - the Inland Revenue owe me a fair bit of tax for my business miles.

sorry but after the MR2 Turbo and the 328 anything over 30mpg is a big deal to me lol plus i'm 27 this year so i'm out the 18-25 bracket :( i'm in the 25-30 group now which sucks.

only plus is £280FC a year for insurance on the mini woo! lol

I don't do 12K a year in the BMW, no.

But mainly I'm just very very old ;-)
