  • Behavior with possible uneconomic parking rempler repair of an old vehicle by the accident opponent?

    Hello, now I have an accident handling question… yesterday morning I had a light parking rampler when I wanted to park in the station parking lot. Due to a mirror-smooth background the car absolutely did not react to the braking, absolutely no delay and so I unfortunately pushed with my bumper at the front left to a Ford Fiesta back right despite extremely much space. Streets were top, had thawed and therefore probably nobody expected I’m driving a bridge car until spring and can hurt that, have only a few straps and a slight dent. It’s a Ford Fiesta type GFJ, something around year 1990 – 1995. As far as I’ve seen that, the Ford also had small straps and a minimally pressed fender. Maybe there were still a few scratches below, unfortunately it was too dark. So – I left a note and left the accident for safety reasons. r reported to the police. I had initially hoped for the value and the general condition of the car it makes little sense to invest there still big and 100 – 200€ which I would push into his hand. After all, the car is to have for 200€ in Mobile. Unfortunately I got now today information from the car dealer that the holder plans a repair, estimate 700 – 800€.. Now on Monday will examine the car and the damage itself before there is something in it. and I report this to my car liability insurance. Under 500€ that makes hardly any sense to me? So, how should I behave now? Of course I am willing to pay for a damage caused by me, no issue at all.. only if all this costs twice or three times as much as the whole car is worth, I find that hardly reasonable..? Hope you can give me a sensible and reasonable advice.. thank you! Greetings, Sebastian

  • 230k VS. 323,325,328?

    Hi who of you has a 230k? can you tell me your experiences like it looks performance-defining against BMW 323, 325, 328 and much Golf VR6? Have opened my compressor (allegedly 230hp) But I’m not so sure. Has any of you also had the conversion done, how have the driving performance changed with you?

  • Top speed Kia Proceed GT 2019 DCT

    Good morning together, I have a question for you. Unfortunately I am also affected by the “pull-like acceleration”. Now I drove a longer distance (~ 25 km) full throttle on the weekend. The top speed of 230-235 km/h (according to the tacho) on the flat track was relatively constant, which actually can not correspond to 225 km/h. However, in sport mode at Kickdown ( 4.speed 150 km/h) the speed and speed remained the same, only when manual switching in gear 5 it went on treacherously. It felt like an eternity until I reached about 200 km/h. Did you have that extreme too? The above-mentioned top speed was reached in aisle 6 and not in aisle 7, is that correct?

  • ADAC – normal or plus membership ?

    If I would like to register in the ADAC, I think offers more than most protection letters. Which of the two would you choose? Drive about 10 tkm a year, mostly city, then follow highway and AB. Usually within a radius of 30 km, alone or for two. Almost exclusively domestic.

  • W108 or W115

    Hello and good day, after my friend told me a few days ago that he used his old Volvo 140 next to a Borgward Isabella Kombi every day, I had the stupid idea to get another oldtimer (next to my current bus). I would like to drive it regularly in the season, preferably daily. Besides a W115 I also found a W108 with nearly the same basic data and condition which both agree to me. Unfortunately I have with both models so far No experience. I had a W123 a few years ago. Is my project at all possible to use the Mercedes as a “daily driver” without excessive service/care and restoration effort in the fine weather season? I don’t want to start a “bar without ground” project and did not want a “water-soluble” car that has to be overhauled after a few summer thunderstorms. What would you take, with which motorization? Is the W108 more rust-prone and more sensitive than the W115? another model more recommended? Thank you. Markus

  • Hyunday Ionic – BEV Interested questions

    Hello, at the moment with Prius mobil, my better half was able to gain experience and interest in 1 1/2 EMobility with me. Well, an I3, just like I drive it, she just doesn’t like it, but purely from the optics she has forgotten in the Ionic. Now on Saturday we would like to go to the friendly Hyundai dealer, actually with the aim to transfer that desire to the reality. Unfortunately I lack a little background to exactly this car. The hybrids are I’ve already been driving a test… chic car. What should I consider with the BEV variant, as far as I know, she has a facelift with an enlarged battery behind her. It’s supposed to be a red trend…. where should I put a cross in the accessories, what should I pay attention to. What real range can you speculate on (it can always only charge a car at home), how does he beat on longer motorway stages, which the lady of the house does not necessarily want to do again in the I3? rz und gut: She has a daily work journey of 80 to 150 km (total from front door to homecoming), drives on the BAB also times 120 to 130, Do you think that she is right with her choice from a technical point of view?
