Should I get a warranty with a cheap second hand car?
Should I get a warranty with a cheap second hand car? I'm buying a second hand car from a dealer and my price range is between €1,500 and €3,000. Should I expect not to get any warranty? If not maybe private sale is better for me.

Should I have been given a 12-month warranty?
I recently bought a 1.4 petrol Volkswagen Passat and the main dealer where I bought it gave me a six-month warranty. Should I have been given a 12-month warranty?

Should I buy my BMW from a main dealer?
Hi. I would like to buy a 2010 BMW 5 Series in 2012. I would like to know if I should buy from a BMW dealer or would it be ok to buy from a SIMI-registered dealer, as there is a three-year warranty with BMW.
Thanks

Should my head gasket be under warranty?
Hi, I had my head gasket done on the car last October and it has now gone again and it's only July. What I would like to know is, is the garage who did it first time required to do it under guarantee? I thought with something like that there should be some sort of guarantee with it.

What to do with Mazda6 problems?
I have recently had a problem with my Mazda6 that has now covered 17,000 miles. This concerns a shuddering at speed that starts around 60 and is noticable right past the legal limit. It does not feel like an out of balance wheeland it seems to have come on suddenly.
Additionally I have experienced a problem with the Bose car entertainment system losing the preset stations. Tthe last time this happened there was a noticable 'popping' sound and I thought it had blown up.
Do you know if the shuddering and problems with the stereo are commom problems? I am going to contact my dealer and obviously am concerned that they may try to pass this off as damage and charge me for the repair.
What do you recommend?
