Lads. I'm looking for a fairly sporty looking 2.0-2.2L diesel in the £2.5-3k range, preferably 2005 or newer, under 120k on the clock, and won't immediately die on me.
Is this pie in the sky? I've seen a 05 BMW 320(C)d and an 07 Lexus is220D that seem to fit my requirements.
While I like the look of the Beemer, I have a feeling that at this price mark I'll be buying myself trouble.
The Lexus, however, I've no idea about. Anyone had any experience with them? I know they are Toyotas with fancy badging, but does that mean the maintenance and reliability will be the same? Will I be shooting myself in the foot and buying trouble with this one too?
Lastly, are there any glaring options I've missed?
