12 years trouble free motoring

[col75]

Well tomorrow I will be parting with my beloved 12 year old IS220d SE, I've owned this car from new and can honestly say that it has been trouble free motoring. With only 85k on the clock Lexus only offered me £2k on a trade in.  Will be picking up my new RX450h F-Sport on Saturday, can't wait 😀

Same as that IS220D SE...11 years trouble free...242,000 klms. (circa 151,000 miles) Can't afford to hang on any longer for really expense parts to need replacement...eg...exhaust. the part being worth more than the car.  Best car I've had inc E Class Mercs.  Waiting for BMW X3 2018 model due in 2 months to the market.  Never had 4x4 never had BMW...I'm retired so it's a bucket list thing.  Only one complaint on Lexus IS220D too small in the back seats.  Didn't affect us though as hardly ever used.  RX450h...very expensive here in Ireland but a wonderful vehicle no doubt ...best of luck with it!

12 years is quite some run, you must have been quite attached.

Good to hear that it has been trouble free, which makes a nice change from all the threads about broken 220d's on here.

£2k is a little on the low side, but unfortunately, that is what cap says they are worth these days trade.  Mine is a similar value even though I have 130k but it is 2 years newer.
