Thinking Of Selling/swapping My 1995 Gs300

[Stevie]

Last month we had a new addition to the family and I am gradually discovering that the Lexus I've enjoyed for the past 3 years is not an ideal family car when you have young kids. What with travel cots, pushchairs, changing stuff etc., I don't think we'll have nearly enough room in the boot this summer.

So, I'm looking to get an MPV or estate car with some load-lugging space.

My first question is: would anyone here like to exchange their estate for a Lexus GS300 Mk 1? A cash adjustment either way would be OK. Mine's done 93,000 miles, has been looked after, has a full service history and 11 months MOT. The colour is silver/grey. Everything works perfectly. Tyres are nearly new and new pads were fitted all round last year.

The second question is: what alternative motors would you recommend, bearing in mind that I have been driving around in relative luxury for 3 years. I should mention also that I'm not looking so fork out a huge figure, as the cost of nappies is killing me already :D

2nd hand RX300???

I just bought an import Toyota Estima - loads of seats and loads of space - really pleased with it (same as the Previa but with a 2.2 Turbo Diesel mill)

I have a feeling that I will not be happy with anything less. Still, the cheapest RX300s seem to fetch around £15,000 at the moment and this is way out of my price bracket in my present circumstances, I'm afraid, Rillo.

I hadn't thought of a Previa... thanks for the suggestion. It might be worth considering, although the only time I had a ride in one, it sounded like a bus. How do you find the noise levels, Rodders?
