It's amazing how much car you can get for the money if you avoid the normal german stuff.

What's it like to drive?

[Shadow R1]

What tax amount is that ?

Loads of car for the price you paid.

[Jimmy Recard]

Wow, that IS a great car for the price! I didn't know that was what they cost.

Brother in law has a diesel one of these, didn't pay a huge amount more than OP, Is currently doing about a billion miles a year with ridiculously good economy. He's very pleased with it.

I didn't realise how much these cost till the other day. I considered one for my work commute to get rid of my ageing knackered Astra. They looked comfy enough for me to be stuck in traffic but I bailed on the idea as I was unsure how reliable with high mileages so il watch this if you keep up posted with updates. Looks good

Based on Lexus of old, I'm guessing they last pretty well. I'd definitely try one. Might have had one instead of my Astra, had I known that they're this cheap

Iagree with Tonker, my IS220d wasn't that good on fuel, 6th gear was ridiculously high, chopped it in for a 250F Sport, very nice car.
I am now on my 4th Lexus and apart from servicing and consumables I did not spend one penny on any of them.
