What I would try to do is go online and source all of the LCR's which are for sale from dealers. The ones which are attempting to selling them at a high-ish price I'd contact them. May not be 100% ideal for you as it seems your thinking of going for something other than a Seat (don't blame you). It's true it is hassle selling a car because of the sheer number of idiots out there, last people who came to see my mates VXR decided to just steal it instead of buying grrrr!!
If you can find private specialist dealers you may get a better deal than the mainstream con merchants.
Good luck with whatever you do!!
