A car for the wife
After your thoughts.
Wife has set her heart on a newer Ford Focus ST so found one close by at Availablecars.com near Leeds.
Went to have a look on Saturday and took it for a test drive and worked perfectly and felt nice and secure and rattle free. They had just serviced it and changed the plugs etc.
Put a £100 deposit on it and left happy, being told it would be ready for pick up on Tuesday.
It is 18 month old with 35K on the clock and in good nick.
Well, today they rang to say that the warranty may be an issue with Ford due to the gap between the first and second service, not in time, but miles and if there is an engine issue, they may not honour the warranty (electrics etc would still be covered).
The company offer a 3 month warranty of their own but will not offer me a anything further....
So - would you buy it?
Cheers for your feedback.
