In need of some help

[dylan-wilkinson]

Basically I'm thinking of buying a Lexus is200 and have been contemplating it for a while now, I've found a nice cheap is200 sport with lsd etc but it has 176k on the clock, apparently it's had a new engine but no proof of mileage can someone help me out on weather I should purchase this or not. Thanks in advance

I guess it depends how cheap. Second hand engines can be had for around £200 but there are other things to consider - clutch, gearbox, suspension etc. all at that age and mileage could be on their way out so you get an inspection done if you aren't confident yourself.

I suppose at a cheap price point and with unknown history it depends on how handy with the spanners you are. I'm not that good with the oily bits so I wouldn't even be considering it.

Decision is yours Dylan but welcome to the LOC anyway  Lots of very knowledgeable people on here.

As already mentioned the choice is yours at the end of the day, be careful what you buy though cheap is not always cheerful and remember road tax is over £300 if registered after 2001
