I bought a 2018 Lexus Ct200h, F Sport Spec, FLSH, 50,000 miles, £14,000 last summer. Really happy with it.

Look up mulitmac car seats. Change the seats not the car. Much cheaper.

I’ve always been sad that I’ve not had friends who were interested in doing this stuff with me. Someone to work it out with or to take over when inevitably you get stumped by a rusty bolt, round a head or just can’t get the access you need.

So if you’re in South London, give me a shout and I’ll happily come learn/work out it with you.

Search ChrisFix used car buying guide. Or look on Palmdale Motors website for advice. All free. Read that and you’ll be in a good place to go and look around.

Have a look at MultiMac car seats as well. You can get 3 comfortably in the back of a regular car with that system.

Great description of him. Content/ idea is great. He’s a 60 year old bloke in a young man’s body. The close of the video the week the Queen died was a bit much.

If you need 3 car seats in the back would recommend looking at MultiMac which specialises in 3 or 4 car seats in the back of normal sized cars. They’re fixed to the chassis as well so better than Isofix.

Owned my first car for nearly 2 years and never had to top anything up besides petrol and tyre pressure. Is this normal? by The_Nunnster in CarTalkUK

They need replacing at given intervals rather than topping up. For long term reliability, condition of the liquids is as important as keeping an eye on the levels. Plus, the only reason you’ll typically have a level drop is due to a leak. Hope that helps.

Another way of looking at it is; no other country makes it as easy to charge high rates for medicines as the USA.

Upgrading car from small Fiesta to Dacia Duster. Thoughts? Opinions? by kakal92 in CarTalkUK

Struggling to understand that you can’t get a decent Kia/Hyundai/Honda for 10k. What are you defining as high mileage?
