    Nobody has mentioned rust. I hear that conditions in England are such that these cars can rust over time. Be sure to have an independent expert to check for rust. Buying a rusty car would be a nightmare, that would make any thoughts of trim, or colour, pale into insignificance.
    You're right, rust can be a big problem over here especially with UK cars. These 2 cars were both imported from Japan around 2005 so should be slightly better. They're also both sold by reputable enthusiasts. I'm more sure that the vr-ltd is rust free so if I go for the Laguna I'll have to check.

    The blue one is a lot cheaper, has a hardtop and fewer miles. I bet you can duplicate the interior of the green one, come out money ahead and have a hardtop. The only thing I do not like about the blue one is the spoiler. But some people like that stuff.

    Laguna Blue is my choice between the two
    Too many to list
    Instead of being part of the problem, why not be a part of a successful solution.

    Check the rockers on both cars, just in front of the rear wheels. Very common area for rust. Bring a magnet.
