  • Jaguar S-Type - Dealer says "no warranty, you take a chance". 28 Jan 2014 (Forum)
    I know that at the cheaper end of the scale the SOGA becomes a grey area for cars like this but still, if an otherwise good dealer is denying his responsibilities like that, who needs that kind of stress? Or am I daft. The car is a 2003 3.0 S-Type at £2500.

  • Ford S-MAX - Need to buy an MPV. High mileage? 18 Sep 2012 (Forum)

Back seats are tighter than the Renault's but the middle row has more room.
