My dad manages a car yard & has his own wholesale licence he'd say the same as the previous guyz warranty is worthless generally, not always but more often than not. Also extended warranties etc especially 1's u hav 2 pay 4, waste of $!! By rights there r certain things they hav 2 cover regardless of a warranty which MVA will enforce.

If u can get sum1 that knows cars & or mechanic's or works in the industry etc 2 help u out. If u can't i'd get a RAC master check on a wrx if u go private (priv will always b cheaper) Costs nearly $300 from memory so only do it once u decide on the car, when ur spendn nearly $20k wats $300 compared 2 a new engine or turbo etc. It also givz u a good indication when u ask the owner if they mind u getn a RAC mastercheck on the car watch their reaction!
