Hello all,
we are expecting our second child in 4 months time. I currently own Audi A3 I want to upgrade to SUV type vehicle. I was looking at Volvo XC60. But with threats to diesel veichles with extra tax due to link to particulate pollution, I am considering Lexus RX450h. So looking for forum members advise which normally dads, uncles, elder brothers would offer, we haven't been lucky to be in that position.
i have budget of £20k, might be able to stretch to 23k. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Few questions for a starter.
1) Undecided on upping budget to £25k and look for Nx or stick to Rx. I have never driven Lexus before.
2) Is approved used worth it. I paid deposit on Volvo Selekt, only to find major problems in car and walked away. Lost deposit. Peace of mind -what peace of mind. Should have looked at private instead.
3) anything in particular I should be checking while test driving Rx450h. Like Volvo XC60 Diesel engines had engine valve problem. Not recall, but needed to be rectified by Volvo. Anything similar, I need to look for.
4) we are young family, both under 35 and worked very very hard to earn our money. Any haggling tips.
thanks in advance.
