    7 year ‘warranty’

    Very very close to pulling trigger on a pre FL mg5 and looking at the 7 year warranty, basically everything is out of warranty by 3 years apart from the battery and paint. Is this correct? Should I even bother shopping for a car with warranty in tact? Also Does any one know if the actual...
