Hey there!
I've been considering a new/secondhand car for a few weeks now as I am starting to grow bored of my WS fez (just when I got it to where I wanted it) Now I dream every night of the 2012 ST but as Ford still haven't confirmed when it will be out I need something until then. Now, my question! What is everyones opinion on this LV XR5?http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/...0661&silo=1011 Seems rather well priced considering the km's and has a Red/grey interior (rare?) which I prefer to the blue/grey that seems to be in all the other cars i'm looking at. Also any advice on things to look out for when I go look at it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, trento!

The interior color scheme is standard for cloth.
The LV's are a great model. Much better than the LS and the LT which it replaced. Styling is nice and you get some nice features in the LV. That is a good price. |

Looks like good value, keep your to do list for the XR5
Red/grey interior only in Red or Black XR5s, not a fan of the blue/grey either |
