Why though?
Not a thing wrong and the balance of the warranty remains..
Put it this way its been a workhorse of the dealership and has prolly been driven sooo damn hard...in fact I gurantee it.
I know a few people who work in main dealers and some of the stories you hear about Demo cars and customers cars when going in for a service are not funy!!!

Its under warranty so anything goes wrong it will be fixed FOC...also the general manager is a friend of my dads so I wouldnt imagine he would sell me a car that has been abused...

I've heard storys about people trying to drift customers R32 golfs into workshops with wets floors etc
Just made me realise if I ever used a dealer I will be watching
As for the car prices I will do my upmost to find the paper. Trust me when I saw the prices it made me think twice about buying an older car.

I have done the whole buying an older car scenario and it costs me £850 in repair to keep it on the road for 10 months...
And whenever I have work done by a dealer I ALWAYS stay and wait for the vehicle or pop somewhere for something to eat whilst waiting...just to keep a check...never had to have a car in for an overnight stay though...
