So is it only real BMW, Ford and VW that are making any money?

The 100 was still being made 18 years after it was launched, an NCAP crash revealed how dangerous the car was, sales stopped over the night, production stopped 18 months early. I think this partly damaged Rover's brand.
The 75 is probably a good car, but its dated now and you will loose a lot of your money compared to a BMW 3 series. I am not sure why anbody would pay £15k for this

Saying all that, a friend of mine needed a cheap car, she a single mum with £1500 to spend. A quite ring around my old trader budies got me a mint '98 416i top spec with 50k, full main dealer service history, 12 month MOT etc, not bad for 1500 notes.

Uncle Ants said:Its pretty simple really isn't it? Rover make crap cars. Loan or no loan they will eventually close unless they stop making crap cars.
