Concur.

You can’t save them all, there are still thousands of them on the road and it doesn’t sound like a grateful car that particularly wants to live.

Have you found a replacement vehicle?

I'm probably  getting a newer car. It means a little more debt (not more than I can handle), but at least I'll have a reliable car with a warranty.

 

There is however a Roffle going on tonight....

Just be aware that a used car warranty is only as useful as you are forceful.

EG the dealer WILL do their absolute utmost to fob you off wherever possible, you'll only get owt done if you give them no other reasonable option.

Most "third party" warranties used car dealers sell only cover major components, there's no courtesy car and overall they're just hard work.

 

As long as you go into it with your eyes open you'll be OK, but it's not all blue skies. The warranty on my brand new Abarth has been a complete nightmare from day one.

I know. It's a one-marque reputable dealer with good feedback for their service, so I'm pretty confident.

If you win this for your £2.50 stake are you seriously gonna shift it home and put a clutch in it? Fair play if so.

 

If it drives in any way shape or form, of course.

 

If not, I see what you are saying.

[purplebargeken]

I believe it drives not.

[pandamonium]

Nope. No drive. 

 

Cartakeback are giving me 95 quid next week. 

 

I now have a Mini (Bini) 

 

 

Blame the missus, it's hers to learn to drive in.

Oh FFS. Not a petrol.......?

[23rdian]

I assume this is now gone? Want to sell me the passenger (dummy?) fog light if not?
