You can check re call work by calling any Lexus dealer and they will tell you :)

As for the problems, you've just listed them all lol...

Wifey car? Seriously, have a look at a 250 if you want a Lexus.

Saying that from the point of assuming local running around not doing big journeys. Danger of sooting up the EGR, DPF and all the problems that go with it.

The 250 Auto is the way to go in my book. Or maybe look at a 2nd hand CT200h if you can find one she likes driving. You'll get better economy that way.

I agree with Normski. If the car is for short journeys, around town etc then the CT200h may be the way to go if you want a Lexus. I had one while my 220d was in for a service; never dropped below 50MPG around town....on the motorway not so good though.

However if fuel is not an issue and you want a Lexus how about a one owner FMDSH RX300. Fully loaded facelift (late 2003 on) available for £5k up with average miles.
