    Hi guys.

    Stuck on a decision on what car to buy. Will be buying in the next few days as I need to buy it soon. I'll give you my 3 options (plus a fourth!!!) , i really like them all, but i'll say what i like and dislike. Having awful trouble making up my mind. Maybe you can tell me reasons to go for a particular one, why it may be better.
    I don't want any other suggestions as I've narrowed it down to three and just want to buy now. I will probably decide tomorrow when i test drive all 3 for the second time. I don't have any other time due to work being hectic at the moment. Can't wait any longer as i have the lend of a car at the moment.
    I do approx 12,000 kms per year in and around the city. The odd motorway long drive. I am single, no kids, but i like the height and space of these vehicles.
    Any advice re resale value, cost of parts, or anything else you think is relevant, please dive in! And feel free to ask me for more info.
    Thanks a bunch.

    2019 Seat Ateca - Demo model . 1.5 litre petrol. - Automatic
    Lovely to drive, nice inside, great big boot, black, but the seats aren't that comfortable. I don't think I can change them.

    2016 Lexus NX300h - 2.5 litre Hybrid - Automatic
    Nicest of the 3 to look at in my opinion. Lovely to drive, has good power and can really move when it wants. Really comfortable seats. But the infotainment system looks so dated and old. No apple CarPlay etc...

    2019 Skoda Karoq - 1.5 litre Petrol Automatic
    Lovely to drive. Nice inside. Big boot. Very comfortable. But it's white. Not mad about the white but I could live with it.

    Also, there is a 182 Karoq available for 2,500 less than the 191. Its quartz grey. Lovely to drive but it doesn't have the sports seats the 191 has and they are more comfortable.

    Lexus for me but it seems expensive. Have you priced importing one?

    Everybody has different tastes and preferences..... But they are some dull choices for a single person with no kids and 35k to spend!

    Not really. Looked at some in Belfast. Don't have a lot of time for that at the moment.

    Get on to a garage who specialises in sourcing. I have an excellent suggestion if you want a PM. Saved my mother €4k on a 6 month old BMW recently.
