Auto broker to locate a somewhat rare car?

Since I’m looking for a blue 2004-2005 Lexus IS300 SportCross with less than 100k miles, which is the hen’s tooth in the haystack, I’m wondering if maybe using a broker to track one down might make things easier. I’m in no hurry and I don’t NEED it. I just want it.

Anyone have experience working with a broker?

Wonder if McParland might have some ideas?

Found one pretty easily but it’s in the wrong country... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/adv…

And another nicer one.

Well, if I still lived in Leeds it would be a consideration!

Can you really call it ‘living’ in Leeds? It’s just not-being-dead-yet.

Fine. Spending 14 hours a day in a dank library alternatingly reading a 7 foot tall stack of books on semiotics and politics while falling asleep in puddles of drool and coffee. MA at Leeds U in 2003-2004.

Oh, I take it back. By Leeds standards, that’s living fast and loose. You devil, you.

It’s a 2002, but otherwise right. And a decent price at under $9000

It’s a 2002 and has barely under 100k miles, but still.
