• USED - Cars @TESCO 27 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  Just looked on the "Everylttlehelps" website and found an insignia, 2008/58. 32000 miles at what looked a reasonable price, but then read the terms and conditions, last service at 23000 :LAST feb, So called out of  curiosity One month RAC premium warranty, what about soga? Oh, you can extend the warranty but all breakdown costs excluded.. and will the car be serviced at a main dealer before delivery, we'll find out and let you know.. OK. I'll think about it, And in one of the dailys they are alledgedly selling 2000+ vehicles a a month. You can't see the car till you have bought it... and i would never do that for a 3 yr old car, (will risk it for a 6 month old still under warranty.. but not from a "retail trade sales".
