Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I have said this in another thread but I really don't see any value in buying a car of that age from a dealer. What sort of warranty do you expect on a 9+ old car?

    If you are buying purely on warranty grounds, i would recommend Cameron Cars over the other place.

    It's a 1.8 litre and they are supercharged. The IS200 has only 155bhp and it has 6 cylinders, nothing to write home about either.
