As a dutiful Son, you could have prevented this tragedy, Scoob 99. You could at least have got him to go for the 75 which is actually a reasonable car, they say.

At least 2 years standing!
Might be an idea to change all the fluids (the car) for him.
Maybe even regass the aircon.
Check the tyres for cracking and trueness too.
Mind, one could argue the selling dealer should do this.

You might also want to buy up a stock of head gaskets while parts are still available!

My wife is asking why I'm laughing.
I bet the 18 month warranty buys peace of mind...
