    I would imagine, already or not long from now, you will be able to have any car you want


    a friend's wife just bought a new qashqai + 2, they are really good value for money and 7 seats


    the economics of contractor car ownership eh

    an old one, or a new one and peace of mind ?

    Milan.
    Or in the case of BMW buy an old one for peace of mind, and only a new one if you like repeatedly visiting the dealers and have a spare car to tide you over whilst they iron out all the faults.

        That's a bit steep.

        Why not ask on here for recommendations on decent local mechanics?

          About the price to pay at main dealer for this sort of job, cheaper actually than others had it.

          Tried some local garage that the AA bloke drove me to and they were total tulip, said it was ok only for me to have same issue later, *****rs - they drained my battery also and it cost me to replace it.

            Seems a good few AA blokes are sharks. Had a similar experience where the AA bloke destroyed the battery. He then told me I needed a whole new wiring loom on a motorbike, which as a favour, he'd be able to do for me. It actually only needed a new fuel pump...

            Like I said you should ask on here.
