• Selling an old car 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  at a later date to just take the car (or any other sitting on the drive for that matter). Got me really worried.

  Hi 1st post, so be gentle... Mt timing belt\'s gone - car\'s 5yrs & 2 months old, 58k miles. Manufacturer says it should be changed at 5 years or 72k miles - whichever comes first. Car has full dealer service history, at franchised dealers. The warranty company won\'t cover the cost, because

• Is buying new really so bad anymore?? 11 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  A thought struck me last night in my search for a new car... is it really so bad to buy new anymore (in terms of losing so much in depreciation I mean)? For my example, take the Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Studio. A quick look on parkers tells us that the price for a 1 year old (10,000 mile) version
• Family Estate or MPV 21 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  a little more mainstream in appearance! My current favourite is a 3 or 4 year old Omega estate - any opinions on this? And is a 3 year old car with 90,000 miles a better bet than a 5 year old car with 40,000 miles? Any help very gratefully received. Rick
• Which nearly new supermini? 30 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  that the best value and least hassle route will be to get a under 2 year old, low-mileage car. I have thought about lots of cars but so far I've only test-drive two. Lots of people here seem to like the Yaris so I've had a look at a 1.3 SR petrol. I have also had a look at a previous model Fiesta

  Hi, I'm considering selling my car to the likes of Motorway etc. What should I do about my private plate? If I go on DVLA and put it on retention, I can put my old plates back on the old car immediately, but I'll have no V5 for a few weeks. At least until the Postman brings

• Chrysler Voyager Electrics 28 Mar 2006 (Forum)

  I was thinking about downsizing from my BMW 330 to a new Clio or something nondescript. Now I see I can have a Nissan Almera Pulse with cd and aircon for £7250! My brother bought an old 100k Nissan Sunny once as a stop gap car. It had well over a 100k miles. In the year he had it it never broke

• Passat Groans 28 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  I've recently purchased a year old Passat 1.8T SE. I decided on this car after losing so much money on my previous Mondeo. I am very satisfied with the car but with one exception. The Dashboard groans and creaks with every imperfection in the road and around every bend. It comes from the nearside
