Getting a bit more interest in the lexus so still on the lookout for a decent mps. Looking at a budget of up to £11k. Hopefully less.
Have tried the usual pistonheads and autotrader but only one car grabbing my attention at the minute but not going to see it until I get mine sold.. anyone know of any good ones coming up ?

Thanks mate - red is not my first colour choice .. but you never know - hoping to get my car sold tomorrow if buyer turns up as he says he will and since he is travelling quite a bit I expect that he will since he has already done the haggling bit. Once I have cash in my pocket the search will begin for real. Happened to see a nice white one (not for sale) in a local car park today. Have my eye on a black one in Glasgow so will see what happens . Keep the suggestions coming guys -I will travel quite a bit for the right car.

Nice one Dave - I am in Fife - about 1.5 hours drive so not too bad. The good news is Lexus has gone -sold it today so now officially carless. (will have to borrow or beg my wifes car for next few days. ) A bit sad to see it go really but onwards and upwards hopefully. Am thinking might travel through tomorrow anyway but still waiting on a few emails about others to decide which way to go. Will give you a shout if needs be - thanks for the offer - much appreciated. cheers Kev

It's amazing how useful a second pair of eyes are especially if you are going for MPS with an MPS owner. Best of luck.
