  I've an old Kia Pride that I've had for the last six years and now I want to sell it. I know there's at least a couple of people here in the used car game and I thought I'd pick their brains. It's just got a new MOT and I put six months tax on it so it can be legally driven on the roads
• Car insurance for newly passed 17 year old 24 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  This has been much discussed before but it seems that quotes for my son are particularly high at the moment. He is taking his test next week so in a spirit of optimism I am tentatively exploring options for insurance.  Last summer we bought a project car for him on his 17th, a 2002
• Old large diesel estate 11 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  as far as you can with old cars. My shortlist is Vauxhall Carlton 2.3D, Audi 100 Avant, Volvo 740 TD, Peugeot 505 2.5D and the Ford Granada 2.5D. Im not keen on turbo cars really as at the age Im looking at, its likely to be knackered, so id prefer one of the non-turbo options as a preference. My

• No depreciation £5-8k sport car 24 May 2005 (Forum)
  /no depreciation, reliability and reasonably maintenance (~£1-1.5k p.a.). What's come to mine is an mid-80s Porsche 911 coupe for £6-8k. What's there to look for on these cars other than in the c-by-c breakdown? My main worry is that everything will be welded/rusted together on a 20 year-old car and, as I

• an old biker - cars don't kill bikers, drivers of both do! 1 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  As someone who has seen both sides of the picture, been hit by a car that came out of a gateway, t-boned, (twice) and yes managed to cut up a biker too many years later, i feel that it is lack of attention and indeed lack of caring nowadays for anyone else on the road. i was never a very fast
• Buying a car privately - financing? 21 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  OK, I'm looking to change my car, and a lovely example of a Fiat Coupe has come along - but it's a private sale. The issue I have is that I need my current car until I have the new one, but the money from selling the old car will be put towards the new one. This means that in some manner I'll have

• Honda Servicing 29 May 2003 (Forum)
  In HJ's book and car-by-car breakdown, HJ says all Hondas should be serviced by the franchised dealers etc. For 3/4 year old Honda cars is this really necessary? Is the VTEC engine really that technical? I have a good local garage with experienced reliable mechanics who charge £45 an hour.
