• Insuring a banger 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Not sure if you guys can help, but I'd appreciate any nuggets of info you can give me. It's renewal time on my insurance, and I've got a few quotes for my reliable old Cavalier SRi, but they almost outweigh the value of the car. I don't need to worry about people nicking or damaging my car

  I am hoping to buy either a BMW 5 series or an Audi A6 up to four years old with around 60,000 miles, or thereabout. I don't do a lot of miles (around 10,000 a year), hence I think I will be quite satisfied with petrol engined cars, ie. 520/523 and 1.8T respectively. Anyone out there who has had

  an upgrade! The Leon is a nice looking car from the front, has 150bhp and a sporty ride. However they were a 16k car when new and this shows in the interior and build quality. Also they seem to have over-inflated residual prices - 10k for a 60k miler that's 2 or 3 years old! The Audi is a nice car, built
