IS220d or IS250!!!!!!??? Heeelp

This one has the SatNAV and the ML Stereo and mileage is fairly low. MOT history is a bit chequered though so check carefully.

I SEE THIS ONE! super lovely car and I really like it visually is perfect!... But I checked the Mot history and it's like a lottery.. it's failed nearly every mot it's ever had... And the brake line corrosion and exhaust gases failure worries me that I'm going to spending a lot of money very quickly... Dealer reviews arnt great either :-( maybe if I took a competent mechanic with me?

Hi Daniel. Every car has an exterior and an interior. That where The Tech is.. If it looks good but there are multiple questions about maintenance without answers then just turn around and walk away. Will save you your hard earned money. 

Never fall in love with a car there will always be another one.

Very true. I know the right girl will come along lol

Hey @Newbie666

Bought my 2007 IS250 through an ad on AutoTrader, just having a look now.....(My search..)

Have you seen This one, in Mitcham, Surrey, right price range, BUT because it was Cat D at some point.

Or this one in Wembley, couple of years older but not too old.

Oddly the next two highest prices are somewhat higher miles.

I haven't looked at the MOT history online but you should, it can give you a clue if their believable.
