  • almost new car with (presumably) old tires bought

    Hello to the municipality, I recently bought a Skoda, which had a little more than 1.5 years ago first registration and had only about 6,000 km on the speedometer. In the tyre change the car technician measured then only a profile depth of 2.5-3 mm and advised to renew the summer tires! Unfortunately we did not measure the profile depth when buying a car, but assumed that the tires are also corresponding with an annual car. May almost new cars be sold at all with worn tires we rden? Do I have ways to fight it? Thank you for helpful tips! Walden

  • Beginner’s Car Golf

    Seas, I have a question and I soon have my driver’s license and now only a suitable vehicle is missing. I have a budget of a maximum of 12,000 euros and thought of a golf only I am not sure which model. He should have already 105 ps and the EZ at least from 2010. Km so about 0 – 40,000. Which model would fit to my requirements in price? Oh yes I also like to see other car proposals, however, a German car brand is preferred. Thanks in advance. Gru ß, Banauke

  • Combi with 150-180 Ps for 15,000€

    Good day for a long time I’m looking for a car, it’s not urgent, because I don’t have to buy another car in the next few months, but if there’s a suitable offer I want to know at least what I have to do with it. So now to the technical data: The car should have: -Diesel engine -year of construction 2010, or younger -Automatic gearbox -combi – max. 125,000 km have run I: -drive ~ 15,000 km a year -daily to work – 12 km pr o I have limited myself to the VW Passat, the Audi A4 and possibly the Mercedes Benz C220, so far I found the VW best so far, as it is due to a lot of equipment and relatively low price. Would you decide that way? Is the Passat a solid car where I don’t have to worry about frequent damage? What are the weak points of the car? Would you perhaps even take a completely different vehicle? In general, it shouldn’t be and no less than 150 Ps, optically very good appearance, and if possible also equipment well equipped. Would I be pleased with answers MfG

  • VW Golf or Skoda Rapid ?!

    Hello dear municipality of the car fools, slowly it is time, I finally buy a real car My requirements that I put on my new wheel are relatively simple and clear.It must be a diesel due to my daily distance (90km city + highway), it must not cost more like 15,00€ and I should just like it I got out of the VW Group, i.e. once the VW Golf VI or VII (depending on the offer), and the Skoda Rapid /Spaceback. Now I only ask the pros among you, which car you put close to me from the two of them. I drove from 90 hp to 140 hp all times but of course I am enough 90 hp. In the end it should become price/performance as efficiently as possible and therefore I want to ask you which motorization is useful for example* and which car on average costs more, how do I get a problem? e and what should I finally pay attention to when buying. Thank you! * I have read the smaller engines with relatively more PS possibly not hold so long P.S. I have not yet driven a Seat Leon test but possibly also possible

  • Oil in liquid form

    Good morning, I ride my motorcycle all year long, as long as the weather permits. The problem is, if the Kawa is outside at temperatures below 5°C, the oil becomes so thickly liquid that my E-starter comes to its limits. The pistons move only very tediously in the cylinder and it does not get enough turns to start. even pushing is extremely difficult with 2 men. Once the engine has run a few minutes it also immediately starts again. (oil gets warm and thinner) and runs much easier when pushing. Even in the empty run you notice an increased resistance in the engine. Battery about 1 year old, valves set, carburettors are clean, no false air, oil change about 6 months ago, Choke works, spark plug about 6 months old. Temporary solution is a splasher start pilot, then it ignites once and runs independently. Oil: mineral oil base 10W40 Polo brand Which oils are better (thin liquid) for the Wint He? Is the brand suitable for the Kawa gpz 600 r? At the last oil change the oil was still in good condition (no water or excessive chips) Greeting

  • Navi touchscreen again

    Hello, at the risk that I might have read over some old thread, I have a question about the Navi touchscreen again. After 1.5 years it has finally caught my Navi touchscreen. All input or control panels are often virtually moved up. The result, you get the greatest effects, only not the right way indicated. So fly to my friend called, the problem described, with the request to snatch up at Saab. D he more or a few prompt answers, you can supposedly reset the touchscreen. To do this, the thing fluffs out of the shaft without tearing off all cables (here Saab really saved), because the device must be switched on. On the back is then somewhere a mysterious reset button, which should perform miracles when operating. I did not know this solution so far, therefore now as usual the question: Who knows the button and has it operated? I would like to To save me and my friend a workshop odyssey with demonstration effects costs only time and diesel anyway. A direct complaint letter with reference to existing guarantees to Saab helps there rather and my lawyer is pleased. Thank you for your feedback.

  • Motor tuning KLX 250

  • Pay the final rate or rather finance a new used one?

    Hello! Vllt you can support me in my decision whether to keep my existing Tiguan 2 or exchange it for a new used Tiguan. On the situation: My balloon financing runs out at the end of June. During the runtime it was 0% interest. It is then open a closing rate of 10,000€, which I either redeem, continue to finance or choose another car. As with balloon financing usual. I currently drive for work 20,000Km/ Year. I plan to work for 2 years and then retire. Then the driving performance is reduced significantly (max. 10,000km/year). Momentary mileage is about 90,000km. Variant 1: Keep the car and pay the final rate 50% immediately and fund 50% (interests still unknown). Then I would have paid a mileage of 130,000km at the start of the pension, the car would be 7 years old completely. Variant 2: Return the car next June and finance a new used car (Tiguan 2) . My dealer would take the car back for 15,000€. (According to Dat.de it would be even 16,500€) Which variant would you choose? Continue driving because I will retire soon and drive less and accept any repairs due to the higher mileage. Or rather take a new Tiguan (in any case no longer possible with 0% lenses!)? To the existing car: Volkswagen Tiguan (AD1)(01.2016->2020) Special model Join EZ: 01/2019 (EURO 6d-TEMP) mileage: 91 .000 km Motor 2,0 Ltr. – 110 kW TDI, body: 4-door Drive type: Front drive Gearbox 6-speed Euro 6d-TEMP Start/Stop system Greetings

  • Will my funding be approved?

    Hello, I use the portal for the first time myself. I always read here. I also don’t have a huge long question ider would like to answer specifically to me and my income and my situation, but experiences. My question is how likely it is that a financing through the car dealer at Santander is rejected. I know the criteria like no negative Schufa, good score, regular income, permanent contract etc.. I still worry, you know the banks, at the end it is called despite good income etc, nevertheless no. Is it a difference whether you want a private loan at the house bank or make a financing for a car via the car dealer? What is more approved? And are there also people with not so huge income or a Schufa score of less than 95%, who have nevertheless been approved for car financing? Thanks already for your experiences. Thursday I get to know if everything works, but have ka ufvertrag etc already signed with the car dealer. But I am a head man who always worries and is afraid, tomorrow comes the call, was rejected”. So how likely is such a thing? Thank you <3

  • Looking at a company car vs. used car purchase – is it worth it for me?

    At the moment I am faced with the decision whether the purchase of a company car is advantageous for my situation. My annual salary is 70k (tax class 1) and my annual driving performance 7,000 km private and work back and forth 3,000 km, which makes me think whether this is a profitable option. With the option of an own car I would opt for a small used car worth 12,000 euros (consumption 6L/100km), which then completely my own In addition, there are ongoing costs such as repairs, TÜV, insurance, taxes and fuel that I would have to finance from my already taxed net income, I think that will be €2,500 a year. My calculation shows that the maintenance of the used car would amount to €5,000 over two years, plus a value loss of €3,000, resulting in total net costs of €8,000 in the first two years. In the case of a company car, I am considering a BMW 2 plug-in hybrid with a list price of 42,000 euros. The leasing rate for an annual drive of 10,000 kilometres amounts to 370 euros per month, plus the taxation of 0.5% of the list price and a flat-rate calculation for the distance to the workplace of 10 kilometres. Costs for repairs, TÜV, insurance, taxes and fuel for the company’s wagon n are taken over by the employer. List price of 42,000€, with 0.5% of the list price: 210€ Work path: 0.03% * 42000€ * 10km) 126€. Gives a monetary advantage of 210€ + 126€ = 336€. Gross annual salary is about 70,000€, hence tax burden 40%. Could someone help me to determine the annual cost of a leased company car? I would like to understand how the offer of a company car affects my annual net income – i.e. how much less can I pay for a company car? This would be the result of an increase in the number of jobs in the Community.
