  • reliable diesel minivans for work journeys

    Hello community, I’m addressing you with the above concerns. I’m looking for a small car with a diesel engine for a total daily distance of approx. 60 km. Since I live in the city, the car may not be too big for parking. At the moment I drive an old Lancia Y Bj. 98 which will not be able to make this route in the long term. My priorities are as follows: 1. Reliability, low workshop stays and maintenance costs 2. Low consumption h 3. The already mentioned size of the vehicle, it should move in the order of magnitude like my current Lancia or a VW Polo or similar. 4. Should not cost more than 900€ 5. The best not have more than 70tkm brand and appearance are not so important to me. I have of course already looked around and a Polo so from approx. year 2010 looks really good. I also heard that the Ford Fiesta models around 2006 should be quite reliable, which also my top priority. Above mentioned budget I could possibly also exceed because I have also looked at the new Hyundai I30 models which are however still too expensive for me because then I would have to finance for it. What are the most reliable diesel small cars you know so well? I am open to all recommendations.

  • The decision has been made, please check the order…

    I have ordered a Flex XC 3401 VRG together with appropriate pads, next weekend. Now I ask the machine polishers present here for a look at my order list. Do I have everything or is there anything missing, or is something unnecessary? Is the planned number of pads sufficient, too much or too little? Are the existing polishes sufficient for the start into a “successful machine polisher life?” We already have polishes and pre-cleaners: Thank you for your assessment. Greetings Norske

  • Are there already “insider knowledge” or speculations about new products of the model year 2015 ?

    Servus together I would like to buy a Street Bob (special edition 2014) in the next few days before it will be sold out. Only the uncertainty about whether the model year 2015 can be expected to be “groundbreaking” technical innovations (probably not) prevents me from doing so. Is there something to expect in the area of the Dyna models here (engine, engine storage, electronics) or is there speculation or opinions on this? Thank you and greetings from Wolff

  • Focus HD Fat Bob 2013

    Hi guys, I’ve got a TPV single-axle trailer. Question: has someone of you already determined the focus of ́ner Fat Bob. I’m about the adjustment of the front wheelbars because of the load on the drawbar so that I can properly balance the buck on the hanger. Before I try to find out where it is, someone can tell me about his experiences. Would be cool if someone has an info for me. Greetings and thanks Tommy

  • sporty small car up to 750€

    Hi together, as the thread title says, I’m looking for a reliable small / compact car. The price should be between 5000 and 750€ and not exceed it. With sporty I mean that the car should be fun to drive. I’m not looking for a sports car now. It’s important that the car is suitable for everyday use. As a stop I specify a couple of criteria. – >100hp – not older than 2006 – not more than 100,000km The Mazda MX5 and a Mini Coope r I already exclude, because I don’t like them so much optically. I had a Bmw E46 already in the eye, but the motors of the Compact models (316 / 318) are supposed to be very vulnerable. I prefer something in the direction, Colt, Swift or Clio. Is there something suitable and are these recommended? Greetings LoXor

  • Mispurchasing… funded Golf 6

    Hello, due to a job change my parents lack the tractor for their caravan. 1.5 years ago they financed a Golf 6 team (1.4 TSI 122PS) for 18500 euros with a loan from the Volkswagen bank (payment 8900 euros). Because of this additional towing load is not enough, now a new car has to come! The golf was then a new car, so the sale is estimated to be a huge loss business. In addition, just the Golf 7 comes out, which is certainly What would you do? 1) Pay the golf for approx. 12000-13000 Euro from the dealer and buy or finance a suitable car there. or 2) trigger the golf and sell it from private. However, this carries a certain risk, since it is not foreseeable when the car will find a buyer. I guess you would have to put an additional 500 Euro into a paint doctor (Mother & Sisters have immortalized themselves with 2-3 scratches, you know this^^).

  • Car or motorcycle – What is cheaper?

    Hello. I intended to make a car and motorcycle driver’s license together. What do you think is a motorcycle or a car cheaper in the maintenance?- Insurance – taxes – tank – repair / wear parts etc. And which motorcycle classes are most expensive? Had thought of such an athlete / super sportsman, because I liked the optically best. e.g. the Yamaha YZF-R6 but the machine has 599cm3 and performance 95kw. It is clear to me that one is not always on the road with the motorcycle n can and that with car you have other advantages (dach übermkopf, Platz etc.) is however not decisive for me (am still in training).

  • Autokauf und Finanzamt – The question

    Hello dear user, we have been a business owner in the catering sector for a month. We would like to buy a CC end of February and have a question as to what it looks like with the tax office and the tax. You can tax the 19% VAT, but then you get the money back immediately after the purchase or what does it look like? As already mentioned, we are only 1 month self-employed and the tax office would surely ask how you can afford a 34 000€ so quickly. German mentality So the question is whether this is immediately reported to the tax office of VW, the bank or anyone else when we buy a car. After my consideration, we would have 3-4 months after the purchase, until the car is built and arrived. Only then will the bank receive the first installment (we finance the car via the VW bank). So you could make a profit in this time and it would not be a problem for the tax office. You would only know in 3-4 months that we bought a car because I don’t think so, ask for your help.

  • 3 fingers lurching wearer-up/damaging for clutch?

    Before driving, the question arose whether it might not be so good/damageful or the locking of the clutch increased, if you only lug them with 3 fingers when switching instead of pulling them completely with all 4 fingers?! what do you mean and how do you handle this?
