    Quite simply, yes.

    If you don't like the risks involved in buying an old, used car then its quite simple, don't buy old and run down goods, buy much newer or new

    Are you for real? At what point do you want the cut off? 10k?20k?50k?

    Another thing that always makes me laugh is when something goes wrong the salesman/manager always seems to have just gone on holiday!
    Went shoplifting at the Disneystore today.

    Got a huge Buzz out of it.

    Didn't think clutches were covered in an warranty, even in a new car.

    Warranty can include or exclude whatever parts the agreement says.

    SoG rights cover everything subject to all the normal caveats about reasonableness, price paid, description etc etc

    There is no cut off - it depends on the issue, its cause and items description and nature

    I wish :D

    it's an Audi S4, original invoice was just under £41k, I got it at 5 years old for £7.5k with 150k miles.

    It's maybe not the most MSE type car (mid 20s mpg) but in the 70k miles I've done in it it never fails to put a smile on my face. It's still on its original clutch but is very heavy on brakes, tyres & suspension bits
