Perhaps even more interesting at Lexus Stockport a black SE manual on 2000 W plate, 2 000 less miles than the Hatfield car but screen price is £1 000 less at £13 995 (without any negotiating).

Right . . .looks like I'm off to Cheshire !

Thanks M8. Look forward to hearing what you think.

Have noticed a 2000 car (but still X plate) at another dealer (Tonbridge Wells). Also black SE manual. It's almost excatly the same price as the Hatfield one but has done 11 000 less miles.

Yeah thanks - already seen that one - see quoted post above.

Sorry just got your pm - I'm on nights at the moment so can't call you.

If you saw the car perhaps you could post some comments on this thread - alternativly I will call you early next week when I'm back in the land of the living.

it was sold on monday .... sorry

:tsktsk:

Thanks for your efforts anyway.

Uk Pulse - not sure 'bout that one - it is a year older than the car I was looking at, only 3K less miles and the same price.

However do you have eperience of the dealer - what is the likelhood of getting £1500 off screen ?

The book for that is about £13 500.

Thanks all for looking anyway - I will get there eventually.

not main dealer but shows how hold value and you get more from a dealer. remember dealers must sell car as good day it was new. mine was, mine is a 99 but is as good as 03.

royal blue with dark grey escane leather/suede

Sounds nice but it must be black with exmoor.

SMW,

Age is more important than miles. A few '000 extra miles (especially on motorway) do no harm.

Don't worry about ex-lease. If it's been badly abused, you'll probably able to tell. A minor lack of TLC (e.g. infrequent washes) shouldn't do much harm.

Don't worry about getting money off - focus instead on the price. Let's face it, a £15k used car with a £500 "discount " is still dearer than a £14k used car with no discount!

Best of luck

Peter

Get the dealer to replace the Stereo. Earlier models have a know problems. Also ask for a rear spoiler
