How big a deal is the wheel wobble and brake squeel ? will I notice it (the wobble) or do I have to concentrate / go at 57 mph etc

I dont want to be a dealer stalker I want a minimal hassle car but (as usual) the more you read the more I think the low mileage cars for sale en mass are all wobbly squeelers or am I over flapping ?

Looking at a late 2010 hopefully a 2011 model

First ask if they have had the problem .

Second it is noticeable at motorway speeds , for the wheel wobble, brake judder is under hard braking , the is a little jubber when touching the brakes but this is normal , due to the floating disc's.

Brake squeal only happens if cleaning solution has been put on to the ceramic disc's.

If it has it the dealer will be able to sort , straight forward.

Had one here on monday , back to customer tuesday , email yesterday saying great job.

I have a 2010 DBS volante which suffered both the wobbles and the squeeks. The wobble saw the car return to works service and eventually the problem was traced to a faulty tyre. It is now perfect.
The brake squeek was easily sorted by the very responsive and attentive dealer(grange at welwyn).
It is a great car and now the wobbles and squeeks are gone still makes me smile every time I drive it.
