  • Need new car and your advice! Brand, financing etc

    Hello, I am “stolze” owner of a Seat Arosa Bj: 2001 with about 90,000km, but unfortunately I don’t know much about cars… I only bought the car for a little over a year and at that time with 76,000km for 2700Euro from the dealer. Now in the near future I need a bigger car for my profession, something like Caddy, Kangoo, Berlingo etc. My Arosa has caused me over 500euro repair costs in the last months and unfortunately also a stone blow in the front window. Since Nov 12 used more petrol than it should, for this an exhaust gas probe was replaced and it went again but since Jan 13 it is back again. I know now certainly that my car is not worth 2700euro anymore. But would I be happy if you could give me an idea how much it is still worth as a private sale? Or if I should give it in payment? From the new car I expect hardly any repair costs for the first years and as said quite a lot of space in the rear area. ken you can recommend here? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of the same. I hope not to spend more than €7000 and make my old one a little bit more money. I want to do something from 2007 or newer with a max of 100,000km. Is that realistic? Besides, what is better private purchase or dealer? As I said, I know only very little about cars. Thank you very much in advance and if you need more information, get in touch! lg peppers180

The Mercedes S 500, Jaguar, Audi A8/S8, BMW 7er and the VW Passat (around BJ 2000) are cars, and the Mercedes S 500, Jaguar, Audi A8/S8, BMW 7er and the VW Passat (around BJ 2000) are cars. I’m looking at the car and I’m looking at the car and I’m looking at the car and I’m looking at the car. I like all of them relatively well, because they are always with full equipment and have good horses. But I find them a little bit to Buisness Style, but the S8 is both sporty and Buisness, I like sports cars like: Ford Mustang , Camaro & Nissan Skyline If you need more information just ask, thank you so much!!! Ps: Would be good if the car is not all too expensive in the insurance

  • Golf V PLUS or Ford C-Max

    Hello, I am about to decide to purchase either a Golf V PLUS or a Ford C-Max. Year of construction should be from 2008 – few kilometers run. Power: petrol (because mostly short distance) – with 100-120 hp. Overall with good to very good equipment. I always read that the C-Max is more spacious, more variable and wider inside. It looks probably also a bit more dynamic. Then I read again and again that it often causes problems or problems. The Golf V PLU S is more conservative in the design and I read that it is more valuable and has significantly better seats. In addition, the better and more valuable and clearer dashboard. In short: Which is the better car – Golf V PLUS or C-Max? Regarding quality of workmanship, the body and the electrics and electronics. Not to forget, who has the better machine and which should be taken? A VW salesman advised me at the PLUS to the 1.6 liter engine with 102 hp. He said, this is by far the best VW engine in this segment. Thank you for tips and opinions.

  • Does the breed die of two-wheelers?

    I don’t know if this topic has been dealt with before, but because of the tense discussions about ABS – yes or no – I would like to take it up! At least half of the two-wheelers (pulls through all catechories) have to suffer from a left hip joint damage! My subjective observation when driving German roads: as a two-wheeler reaches speed-limited zones in the inner city area, his left hand immediately speeds up to the left leg. Now my question: Shouldn’t you give up riding two-wheels if you can’t do justice to possible emergencies by driving one-handedly??

  • He’s got a wheel off!

    An American has set out to build a motorcycle. Unfortunately, during the planning phase, he remembered that he forgot about his construction, the second wheel. What’s the point, just this came out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1YoCfm7nxU&feature=watch-vrec What do you think of it? I saw it for the first time. Apart from the parts on which you are standing, but which have an axle and two wheels and whose name I don’t think of. A nice idea, even if e In my opinion, this would not be an almost satisfactory alternative, but perhaps an approach to an interesting development.

  • export motorcyle to Czech republic

    Hello German friends, Because my German is very terrible … so I will continue in English. I live in the Czech Republic and want to import a second hand motorcycle from a private seller in Germany.. I want this, because you Germans seem to take good care of your bikes and offer better prices compared to Czech Republic. I am trying to find out which documents I will need to get from the seller. I am also trying to find out if I need to make specific export arrangements. Does anyone hav e experience with this? Does anyone know which list of documents I will need to acquire from the seller? I suppose I will need, at least, the following: -vehicle number/vehicle paper -invoice from the seller that states he sold me the motorcycle -TUV papers/number(though I understand I can arrange DEKRA myself in case of missing TUV). Am I missing anything from this list? Then there is German customer(i think). Does the seller need to arrange de-registration from Germany? So, will I need to arrive from Germany? Ange some type of export document? I plan to transport the bike in a van so I guess I don’t need those red license plates for export. Sorry for the many questions… I find it difficult to find specific information for arranging a bike for export. So I hope I am asking in the right place.. Any advice is very welcome! Thank you!

  • Beginners looking for tips, matching machine

    Hello, I decided to make an “A” note at the age of 39 and if everything goes well I put it in my pocket on October 9. Now to my question. Originally I wanted to make the appearance to be able to drive a bigger scooter like 50ccm, but I quickly noticed in the driving school that motorcycles are more fun like scooters. I am 190cm tall and have long legs. In the FS I drive a Kawasaki ER6, I find the machine very nice, but I don’t know if they are I would be a little small (well, I don’t have a comparison). Since I want to buy a motorcycle at short notice, but I don’t know the market or this is very confusing for me, I wanted to ask for tips which machines I should look at. I thought about a new machine (because of the driver’s license bonus) or a younger used one, my budget is 700€, maximum 1000€ if the machine is definitely worth the extra price. My driving profile would be regularly c a. 5 km to work, about 10km to the gym and weekend a little cruise around, excursions. I’m not a speed fanatic, so don’t need 150hp, don’t want a sports machine, rather an all-rounder, or something in Richting Supermoto, Enduro ect. ABS is a “must-have” for me, along with about 40-110hp, 2-4 cylinders. Maybe someone can recommend me some bikes that could fit me. Thank you, Alex

  • New drums behind – pedal vibrates while braking

    Day! I replaced the wheels and pads in the front and a few days later in the back. So wheel brake cylinders, cheeks and drums. As the parts for the rear came later I drove about 200km with the new front brakes and everything was ok. Now I renewed everything in the back and new brake fluidity is also inside. The car never braked as nice as now in my possession, however, the pedal vibrates when I brake at a higher speed. At 50 – 60km/h it feels normal. For example, on the AB of 120 I feel the vibrations in the pedal. Whether coming from the front or from the rear I can’t locate from the feeling, but since it only came with the new drum brakes I assume that the error can be found there. What do you think about it? Should I put the cheeks even further back or what? EDIT: It’s the drums: When I step on the park brake also vibrates. In addition, there are speed vibrations due to imbalance from the rear at high highway. are by the way AC Delco drums. Made in China.

  • Zafira Life L3 and PDC. Question about the 120 hp engine.

    Moin,.I have found a Life Zafira l3 with 120 hp, really in the budget from the price. But find hardly anything to the engine, what it consumes, whether it is good. Three children and a dog drive in the car. Oh, and the woman of course… he does not have a return camera or pieper, that annoys me. Otherwise the selection variant. Does someone drive said engine and can help me there? Thank you!
