This is similar to the baby seat argument that I get sometimes. Someone will pay 20k for a car then moan that the isofix babyseat costs iro £160-£180. What price your or your childs safety??

As with pre-worns - why would you want them?? why would they have been taken off of a car in the first place? - cos they were worn?? in which case, you'd want them on your CTR why??

Years ago, I worked for a car dealer and we had a guy in for a service, he was advised that he really needed to change the cam belt within the next few thousand miles as it was at the age/mileage to do so and he was a high mileage/motorway driver. He didn't, needless to say, it came back in two weeks later on the back of an AA flatbed in pieces. Driving along the motorway at approx 80mph (his description) the belt went, blew bits of the engine thru the car, instant write off. All because he didnt want to spend the money at the service.
