HONEST opinions please
« on: 20 March 2009, 20:41:42 »

Time for a change for me, I think. Has anyone had one of these and can you point me in the direction of things I should be looking out for. Harrats give a one year warranty with all vehicles so should be ok.

Grateful for any input. Ta.

I hate the interior colour, but each to their own.

Advert tells you nothing other than spec  :-?

Any history / condition?  have you seen in it 'in the flesh'?

Not yet Jimbob, but it's only 2 miles down the road. It was more like an appraisal by someone who had owned one I was after.

My Dad is going to be really happy to know that.

Had Espace, gearbox went bang (amongst other things, of course), chopped it in for a V70.

I was looking at signums today, was interested in a 2.2 oil burner. But the dealers think that it's ok to charge a massive premium for diesel. The 3.2 elites were about 30% cheaper. I actually told the salesman at Evans Halshaw to f**k off ::)
