Default Re: Test-drive ;) and traders :( or am I unreasonable?

Horrible colour 12 months warranty is possibly useful and unusual - they usually come from insurance companies and in my previous experience are not worth the paper they are written on. Most places will give you 3 months on this type of thing - buy mine £5950 54 plate 62k but graphite sorry. Some of the larger sales places seem to be set up just to waste your time. I went round various garages last year and was offered from 2000 to 5000 for the same car! They also love to point out whats wrong with your car but are less keen if you reverse the role - dealer pointed out that a 3.2 sports car might be a bit thirsty to run so I pointed out that the 3.0 Jag with 4 wheel drive that I was looking at wasn't renowned for its economy but they insisted it would be much better! ie I was wrong again. They are just cars, there will always be another, just keep looking
