I still keep going back to the Antara for some reason  It would do my needs very well, its just the reliability I have a question on. But saying that I'd be thinking of a nearly new one so should dare I say it be covered well by warranty

My Bro had one for three years as a company car, generally liked it but it went in for warranty work at about 45k and was never quite the same after... He ran it all over the UK with no real drama, so not a bad shout, but interior isn't the best screwed together...

He replaced it with a nearly new 335d saloon, but we don't mention that

but we don't mention that

 

One of our new 13 plate BM's went for a service 7 weeks ago with a warning light on it, only has 14k on the clock. We're STILL waiting for it to come back  Apparently the 'technician' stated that the clutch had 'broken up inside the housing causing catastrophic failure of the gearbox'

We'll....it shouldn't be. They were more expensive than the Antara when new, but with Chevy pulling out of Europe, prices took a dive. TBH, Jason, even though I drive the zafiras cousin, I wouldn't touch any Chevy. Great while they are working, but a bugger to get sorted when they're not.
The 'dealers' we're not garages, they were multi franchises who were only interested in sales, not after sales. You could be lucky...

.....well, punk, do you feel lucky

If you're thinking about an SUV my mate has one of these, although his is petrol.  Really nice car!

That one is just down the 62, Jason

Make sure you check the paperwork

£500 tax?? Don't think I could get that past SWMBO

That's just Tiggers idea of a joke...at someone else's vast expense.

Are you a man or a mouse? 

[Crazycarzowner]

Squeek!

[The Sheriff]

This is the way I buy my cars:

See one I like the look of. Buy it. Post on here that I've bought it and don't take a blind bit of notice what anyone says. Have trouble free motoring whilst reading about other people, who's cars are far superior to mine, asking how to fix their cars.
Nimps

Squeek!

  Whose car is it? Just buy what you want ......... at least there's now no tax disc in the window to give the cost away. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

£500 tax?? Don't think I could get that past SWMBO 

I assumed that with that kind of budget, a measely 500 quid wouldn't be a problem! 

Still a cracking motor though and now that you don't have to display the disc Mrs Jason need never find out how much the tax is!   

Ooops Andy beat me to it. Great minds think alike!
