advice please

[gtturbo]

i've read the various post about buying a t350, i'm seriously considering it. please could someone tell me the following.

1) i do 10,000 a year and it will be my only car. can it cope with this?

2) what average mpg will i get out of it? i travel 20 miles to work every day in heavy traffic.

3) What is the warranty, what does it cover and is it any good? (i'll be looking at a 12 month old example)

4)whats the service intervals and typically how much?

i'm not too fussed with poor build issues or niggles, its major breakdowns and stories of engine re builds after 3000 miles that scare me.

Yes, we used ours as an every day car, approx 26 miles a day, Also put 2000 on it in 5 days when we took it to Europe 2) what average mpg will i get out of it? i travel 20 miles to work every day in heavy traffic. Anywhere between 15-18 depending on traffic 3) What is the warranty, what does it cover and is it any good? (i'll be looking at a 12 month old example) It is a 2 year engine warranty from new, so you would only have a year left if you buy 12 months old. Everything else is only 1 year. 4)whats the service intervals and typically how much? Every 6,000 miles, cost depends on where inthe country you are and what dealer you have, but should typically cost between £450 - £550 i'm not too fussed with poor build issues or niggles, its major breakdowns and stories of engine re builds after 3000 miles that scare me. We did 18,000 miles in ours with no engine trouble, but that's not saying it can't or won't happen.

I think the warranty has increased, but a good dealer will know.
