• BMW 5-Series E60 (2003 - 2009) - Un-registered old model 5-series BMW 27 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I see one of the car supermarkets is selling un-registered, but old model 5-series BMW's at a considerable discount to the current model. Does anyone have any information on these cars. I understand that they are the result of over-production. If so, have they been standing in a field for five
• Carland anyone? 3 Dec 2006 (Forum)

• It's cool over there but not here? 16 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Digressing a bit from my thread on the vandalism to Sarah Howards 17 year old Fiat Panda made me think. She obviously loved her little old car. I'm full of admriation for her in bucking the trend. My point is driving a classic or old car in the United States seems to be the cool thing to do
• Bums on Seats 3 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  , the 2 year old has an all-singing car seat. Come January, then, I'm anticipating the purchased car needing to host, in some combination from left to right, two car seats and a fidgety 8 year old too (who will no doubt crave a position next to the window rather than sandwiched between his siblings.

• Mazda MX-5 - Old cars 12 Jan 2021 (Forum)

• Buying used - old with low mileage or not? 20 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  What's your opinion on this question? I do 25k/year and on average keep a car for 4 years. I've tended to look for cars with low mileages for their age (my last purchase was 20 months old with 7k on the clock.) This is done on the basis that depreciation kicks in regardless of mileage
• In general which is better, Old or New?. 8 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  I prefer old cars to new ones because they tend to have more character, and they're a lot easier and cheaper to repair, and more robust. Also I don't think that new cars today actually run any better than new cars did 20 years ago.... My own car is a 1994 Vauxhall Astra 1.7DTL. Is has no engine
• What sex is your car? 25 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Not sure if this has been done before or not, but what the hell... Reading through PoloGirl's thread earlier, there was a little bit of banter over Polo's gender (the car, not the girl). To her, Polo is most definitely male. Now my 10 year old unmodified Escort i have always addressed as female

  My daughter is threatening to trade her old corsa in for a new car. By that I mean brand new.   She's 22 in October so will want something to suit. She needs to commute to work.   I'm thinking 0% finance with old car as deposit and free first years insurance?

  Much has been said in the past about the distinct "New car" smell. Having recently turned seven I have noticed my car has started to aquire the aroma of all the bangers I drove years ago. Hard to put your finger on what causes it but it seems to be a smell consisting of burnt electrics/rubber

  Finally sold our old house a year after we moved, got the money, thinking of the car I would really really like, and decided not to, mostly because of the amount of vat on the sale, and the huge depreciation on the car i was thinking of. So Plan B or C, buy myself something a bit

  I just bought another car. I still have my old car. It is off road and uninsured. At present my brother does not have a car and wants to use my old car. He wants to insure it in his own name and use it. Can he do it while the car is still under my name? He is aware he is responsible for any

• Volvo V70 (2007 - ) - Which £18,000 family estate car? 22 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  A growing family means we'd like to replace our diesel hatchback with an estate car. With a budget of £18,000 my first thought was an 18 month old V70, but after some research I'm now also considering: - A 3 year old E280 CDi. - A 12 month old Honda Accord Touring. - A 12 month old Mondeo Estate
