• Advice on Trade In Please 7 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  it is was a Passat S but when I checked the V5 it turns out to be an SE. According to Parkers the difference in Trade In value is £260 (SE worth more than S). A stupid stupid mistake. What can I do? The deal is done and I collect the car on Friday. They were quite adamant that they could go no lower in price

• Porsche Boxster 986 + Boxster S (1996 - 2004) - 2004 Porsche 986 Boxster S 31 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  into a savings account. Both of these options are very safe! Of course, there are also the unsensible frivolties of being able to attain such a car as the Porsche Boxster at this tender age. I've been offered a 2004 Porsche 986 Boxster S with 20k miles on the clock for £22k and 5k in exchange for my late 2007
• New car - old car? £7,000 down the drain? 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Almost a dilemma with the 2002 1.9D Punto - then a few rough calculations. It`s done 60,000 miles as a home care car and does (the previously mentioned) 50 or so cold stop starts a day. It does around 53mpg doing this and a petrol car borrowed for the day did 29mpg. Now it has faults

  I was up on the local escarpment the other day, looking down over the valley, where the river Calder meanders across it`s clay bedded floodplain.  A few hundred yards further, along the ridge, gapes the wide West facing mouth of Crigglestone tunnel - walled off at one end these last
