Interested in the value some of you would put on something like this - http://www.arnoldclark.com/value-range/

Is it worth the piece of mind or should I just buy elsewhere, stick the extra ~£500 in a savings account in anticipation of the first service?

    What £500?

    Looks like they maybe selling their part ex vehicles instead of flogging them to a dealer in bulk or going to auction.

    60 days warranty. £225 to extend for 6 months.

    £194 for MOT and service plan?

    Pick any one of those cars and put the same age and spec into search on Autotrader. You will save a fortune.
    Funny to see AC pitching antiques, almost back to the bad old days, maybe he's fallen out with the auctions (again).

    Sounds like a glossy way of selling of their PX's.

    That's what I've been doing. That's where the £500 saving comes in.
