Personally, I would much rather buy a high mileage car which has had a full service history and motorway use than a low mileage one which has just been used around the doors and not given the engine a chance to warm up properly each time it has been used.

My current Rangie has done 134,000 miles and my dad had a Mondeo with over 210,000 miles on it. My first car I bought off an elderly bloke who had used it once a week around the doors, the big end bearings failed after 6 months so the engine was swapped for one that had done over 100,000 miles and it went on for another 100,000 miles plus.

2007 lexus really worth £7000 with that many miles?


Makes my 2004 Mondeo seem like toy car money, I paid £2300 for it in 2009.

I would take a guess at that price that it is the RX400 the OP is looking at??

The RX400 seems to be pretty reliable although for the hybrid I would advise you do a search on the internet, especially the owners club, for "Lexus RX400h inverter failure" before deciding, just so you can take it into account.

Turbo's are not that expensive these days, Plenty of places to recondition them for £300 or so.
