Buying a used, low mileage car - any pitfalls?
I am considering changing my 2010 Lexus for a 2012 IS250. Price is £17,975 and mileage is 2881. Is this a good deal?

Nice, quiet car. Presumably you know the model. Better on 16 or 17-inchwheels than on 18s because the ride deteriorates badly.

Very well built. Top quality interior. Lexus dealers are best in the business. Impressive refinement. All engines chain cam. IS250 probably the most reliable car you can buy.
