    Hi lads

    I'm heading to the UK in the next couple of weeks and the car in looking at bringing back is the Lexus CT 200.

    Its for my wife who does the usual drops kids to school heads to work and drops the kids to activities during the week, total milage around 300kms per week.

    My max budget is 10500 gbp. I have seen the below one and like that it has reasonable milage and extras like sat nav, leather seats etc

    I would appreciate your help

    Comes back more or less clear on the checker I have access to - shows outstanding finance, but that's unit stocking which wouldn't be unusual or anything to worry about).

    Too new for any MOT history.

    I like that colour! Would go better with Beige leather, but that wouldn't be as practical.

    Also comes back clear except for unit stocking.

    I believe that there's little ever goes wrong with them (or the Prius), but don't have enough experience of them to confirm or deny.

    Great thanks, I have been looking into them and they seem pretty reliable. I will give it a few days and if nothing better comes along I might just get this one ( the blue one)

    Thanks again ROR

    That blue F sport looks the bizz.

    Look up the different trim levels on autotrader, it's good to know what each one has over the other. It will make you want the SE-L Premier though.
