Hi guys,
As you may have seen I've put a reservation fee down on a low mileage 159SWTI. It's 3 years old, just come out of lease/finance) and has only done 18,000 miles.
Now whoever owned it first serviced it late - at 2 years 5 months. But at that point it had still only done 15,000 miles.
The oil would have been a bit old for 5 months but not overly dirty. I'm guessing that this won't be a big issue - opinions?
I am aware that this could invalidate the original Alfa warranty, but that has expired anyway. The car is an approved used Alfa with a 12 month warranty which the dealer said is fine because it's a seperate new warranty as part of the Approved Used scheme.
Any thoughts on this servicing issue?
Appreciate your advice...
