Hi there,

I wasn't particularly looking for a Lexus but I stumbled across a nice IS200SE auto at a trader near where I live. It is a 99V, has had 2 owners and 78000 on the clock. Fully stamped history and I can't find anything wrong with it other than he wants £6795 for it

I was intending buying something newer and am nervous about going for something this old. I read in a magazine that these are durable cars, so I am thinking it might be ok? I can't really afford a newer one of these, but I could get a much newer Corolla, Almera, or something for the same money.

Are they really that good? Should I go for it?

He also has a 00X IS200 SE manual (91000 miles and £6995) but I would prefer an auto - I am getting lazier as I get older. Are autos less reliable than manuals?

Thanks for your help.
