If I go to look around at some IS220d's and maybe a is250 (auto or manual?) what are common signs that the head gasket is about to go, or that I will get crap mpg?
-
I am aware of this, but my commute is a good 35-40 miles either way 60% motorway so I concluded a diesel would be better, that is if I could realistically get around 40mpg out of a 220d... How can I tell when buying a car if its been driven correctly? don't want to be buying the thing to find it breaks a month later

That's great cheers, I was worried about all the problems that 'could' appear as I don't earn enough to justify spending megabucks repairing the car every 3 months, but in reality a BMW or AUDI in the same price bracket have next to no features and are extremely common

I am looking at purchasing a new car for daily driving, I cover around 30,000 miles a year and was looking into the 220D but all I seem to find Is horror stories, is this just the earlier models or where they a nightmare the hole way through? I have about 5K to spend and the Lexus looked like the best for value in this budget, looking for any advice anyone could give.

The Problem with an Is250 is insurance for me as it would be almost twice the insurance of the 220d as I've only been driving for just over a year
