He may have done but I certainly didn't. I own a 12 month old (face-lifted) 75 tourer diesel auto and it's a superb car. The problem was that MG-Rover didn't have the money to develop new models and that was their downfall. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with any of their cars (apart from the cloned Tata!) - they're just old and no longer compebreastive. Had they managed to find a partner with sufficient money to invest in new models I think that the whole story would have been different. I'm feeling a little better after having spoken to my dealer. They are part of a financially sound national company and will continue in business (although not selling Rovers of course!). They tell me that as I bought my car from them they will continue to honour the warranty, which is excellent news (although in the first twelve months I haven't had to make use of it at all). As I bought it as a 'retirement car' that I always intended to last me for as long as it kept running, I'm not over bothered about residual value either. It's a very good car and I will continue to enjoy driving it. There are some superb offers on Rovers now. Dealers will offer a warranty and for anyone intending to hang on to their car for a period of years and not concerned about residual values they could do far worse than pick up a brand new 75 for £12,995. Bear in mind that this is a car developed by BMW, containing a majority of BMW parts, and, in the case of the diesels, having a BMW engine. A lot of car for the money.
