Re: Buying Used - Service advice

When I was looking last year, three out of the four I enquired on had missing services, one had no history at all, all of them were from Jaguar dealers, needless to say I didn’t buy one. It’s amazing how many people don’t stick to the service schedule on what is a reasonably expensive car.
