Back In Loc

[Johnny-_-]

Hi All (again)

I registered here last year when I bought a IS200 on your collective advise, and was very pleased with the 16 months hassle free motoring. I sold the IS200 in March this year for £400 less than I bought it, 'W' Reg and with only 37k on the clock.

Since then I now have an A4 2.0 TDI convertable, and now a new addition to the family an IS220d on an 08 plate. Bought the car last week from Lexus Newcastle for £17,995 with only 3 miles on the clock. Which I think was a really good price.

Nice to be back with you guys, even if I was only a passive member in the past.

Cheers

Welcome back :D

Welcome back! You seem to do pretty well on your purchases - how on earth did you only lose £400 having owned the first IS for 16 months?

Sounds like a decent deal on the new one too, £5k off list is a pretty reasonable saving :winky:

I bought the IS200 originally with a small amount of bodywork repair which cost me £65 to repair, for a very very good price, and then it only had 28k on the clock. Then after only 9k miles in that time I put the car up for the same as I bought it and I had a caller within 6 hours, who bought it that week. ;)

Now for the 220d which is a fantastic car, a pre reg which needed to be sold by the 1st September so was able to get a very good deal. It's certainly not a top spec but still as a base model is a great car to drive.

My only criticism is that it suffers from turbo lag, or will this improve once the car has been broken in?

Thanks all for the warm welcome. :)

turbo lag it its main problem.. you just need to get used to it

I think I will cope, especially as the pro's outway the con's
