  • Buying advice Diesel or petrol

    Hello together, I have read useful information here in the forum for years and decided today to make an account because I urgently need help. It is about buying a new vehicle. I will soon start an apprenticeship and the job is unfortunately a bit far away, so I would have to drive 50 km back and 50 km every day. In other words, it is 100 km daily and 500 km a week. About 20 km would be highway, and the rest is 20 km inland and 10 km rural road. Diesel problem I am very undecided which is exactly the right solution. Either I buy a petrol truck and have my rest despite the extra consumption, or, I buy a diesel truck and hope that I will not get any driving bans in the area. I think that this year there will be no bans anyway with the Euro 5, since you are certainly on the safe side until the end of 2019. My budget is between 6,000 and 8,000 euros. It could also be something more, then I would have to However, since I own a BMW 318i with 143 Facelift, it would be strange for me to buy a new car that has less power than my BMW. However, this one consumes between 9.2 and 9.4 liters inside. Have looked at the Astra/Corsa, or the Corsa E with 95hp diesel. But from a BMW to a small Opel would be a big step backwards for me what smooth running and processing was about… Which car would be in question, but which has enough power Now buy a diesel (Euro 5/6) with the problem that I no longer come to the city center? In theory, I would have time with the Euro5 until next year or the end of 2019 until the Euro 5 would certainly be banned. But this risk is clearly too great for me, and a big waste of money… What car would your recommendation be? Greetings EmanLF

  • Successor Audi A4

    Moin, this year my A4 2.5 TDI is to be replaced, although the motorization is not very popular I have to say that the A4 has held on really well until now. However, I don’t need or want a diesel car anymore, the A4 still has Euro 3 which is not very helpful in the near future. After 5 years Audi I want to look around towards Lexus – Toyota. My first car was a Toyota Avensis which accompanied me for 3 years without a shortage(although I have the s With his only 110 hp he was a little too weak on my chest, then changed to an A4 1.8 TFSI (chain problems, oil consumption), then on the 2.5 TDI. Spontaneously I would have thought of it as a solution for the 2.5 TDI – Lexus IS 250, 208 PS V6 petroler – Lexus GS 300, 250 PS V6 petroler – Lexus GS450h, 296 PS V6 hybrid petroler Lexus should play in a separate league especially in terms of quality and durability If you are allowed to cling to “internet reports”. At about 10 – 12 000 km a year the fuel consumption is rather secondary. As a budget 10 to a maximum of 13k € are available to me. I am basically not dependent on a contract workshop, can use here a few capable mechanics. But I am also gladly open for other brands, German “premium brands” fall out for me, I had now for 5 years than daily – enough. If someone himself one of the Lexus Mode of course, I would be very grateful about it! My regards Daniel

  • 3 beginner cars to choose from and already headache

    Hello as I wrote above I have currently 3 vehicles to choose from! Drive them my son (starter), who in turn has no connection to cars and learns out from summer! Which in turn means there should be as few problems as possible! Ok, that this is not excluded again in the price range up to 5000 € I know itself. But at least this should be minimized as far as possible according to experience values! So now the 3 candidates: 1: Seat Ibiza 1,2L 12V 3cylinders from 20 10, with 130000 km on the speedometer. However, at 94 000km ne new machine came in, that is currently 36 000 km on the clock! I guess on defective steering chain, but I can get that out on Saturday. 2: Renault Clio III 1.2 from 08/2009 with 83 000Km 8 times tired, top maintained, discs/clusters rear/front new 3: Ford Focus 1.6 (101PS) from 06/2009 with 122 000 km. First impression: Top maintenance condition, no rust! As far as the theoretical data is concerned! I can also say nothing about the whole chassis problem (lager, bushings blablabla…). All candidates move at the same level in price! How would they decide? Best regards Sven

  • Car with power potential by 800€

    Hello community, I’m looking for a car up to +-8000€ and would like to do something about the engine later on still performance-wise (chip, downpipe, possibly exhaust system and LLK). Age doesn’t matter and displacement should not necessarily be over 2,000cc and so up to 160-230Ps series. I would plug in as much as 250€ and would be nice if it were then a low 6s to 5,5s time from 0-100. And it should already be a turbo engine from home. Had so on 1.8t`s and 2.0 with K03/K04 Loader thought of by VW Group but also with Japanese I am not averse. Grade with older like Nissan 200SX etc. Otherwise the rest doesn’t matter…the overall package must fit. MFG

  • Purchase advice – New or used cars

    Hello, we currently have a Passat 3BG Variant (BJ 2004 – last version) as Trendline Family. This one still has TÜV until Nov 2017. In the near future the following is probably due: – new set of summer tires – new set of winter tires – possibly clutch – cold start problems of the vehicle can be analyzed – rust on the trunk flap of the Variant mileage are approx. 100.000km. We got last year family offspring no. 2. In place we currently just get there, in the K now we could get a new VW Touran 1.2TSI for approx. 25-26 T EUR with some equipment. The new car is really great and would suit our needs with the children well. Now we are really thinking about whether we should take the money into our hands (via financing) and buy the car or drive the Passat 3BG still until at least the end of the TÜV period, well known Do you have pros and cons, experience reports or decision reports for getting the old or buying a new car? Thank you very much!

  • Buy a car Saturdays in a foreign city

    I want to buy a car tomorrow. I drive my car to a far away city to a car dealer (car purchase on Saturdays possible, thousands of cars in the yard) and am determined to buy a car. (50% bar, 50% financing). My old car should stay there. That should be my dealer’s pleasure. An acquaintance said this is not possible. I imagine this: I drive there and get a short-term license plate or dealer’s license plate from the dealer and drive with the new car The letter will be faxed to my registration office or by express mail. Then I will register my car Monday or Tuesday. Does anyone have any experience here? I will ask my car dealer anyway, but I need to know if I have to get up in the morning.

  • SUV searched

    Hello, I’m looking for a new SUV. Currently I drive Mazda CX-5, with which I’m satisfied. I want something new. Must: Reasonable space for at least 4 people with luggage 150-200 hp with adequate consumption trailer coupling plug-in or foldable Modern assistance systems Xenon or LED light Navi parking aid front and rear Should: On the back bench should fit 3 child seats Prestige may be quiet. 🙂 Good traffic jam (not only TMC) Rearview camera Automatic or DSG I looked at the following cars: X1, X3 too small, X5 too expensive. Q3 too small Q5 is in short choice. Tiguan is in short choice, Tuareg is too expensive. Qashqai too small and too weak. Evoque is too small, the rest of LR is also out of the question. The budget is about 20,000 + residual value CX-5, which is not rigid. Which cars should I look at again? Greetings, Pistesau

  • Four used cars to choose from.

    Hello, I would like to buy a car, which I need mainly in the city and 3-4x a month for shorter highway routes. I drive the car with my wife and soon possibly with offspring. Since it becomes my first own car and I have hardly any idea of cars, I would be happy if you could write me something about the cars that presume me. Bzw which of them you would take or exclude and why – regardless of the price. Highway I do not like to drive e.g. because I would like to have a car that doesn’t get too loud in the interior and dampen road unevenness. It would be important to me to have a car that rarely has to go to the workshop, whose repairs/replacement parts and insurance are not too expensive. I don’t drive particularly sporty, but it would be nice if my car had enough power to quickly complete overtaking operations. These are the cars, all have automatic, air conditioning/automatic, 5 doors and are gasoline: Mazda 3 1 .6 SportActive: Dealer 46.000 km 77kW/105PS EZ07/2007 Checkbook Peugeot 308: Private 100.000 km 103kW/140PS EZ02/2008 Toyota Auris 1.6 VVT-i: Private 113.204 km 91kW/124PS EZ03/2007 Hyundai i30 1.6 Comfort: Dealer 121.305 km 85kW/116PS EZ04/2008 Checkbook

  • Looking for young combo up to 20k – diesel?

    Hi together, I am looking for us M/W/Kind (10 years) a robust, reliable combi up to 20,000 Euro. The car should be max 3 years old, still have (rest) warranty and maybe not more than 50-55,000. Due to an annual drive of 25,000 – 27,000 km, I probably prefer a diesel. My driving profile looks like this: Daily 30 km easy route Land/Bundesstraße, shopping trips 2-3 times a week approx. 7km easy route Landstraße. Aubs- and sometimes weekend rides over the train. I hate to have a vehicle where you think in the morning, if you overtake a trecker in the afternoon 😉 But I don’t need a family rocket, rather healthy midfield 🙂 As a must-have equipment I need Bluetooth hands-free equipment and air conditioning. If there was a glass roof (panorama or sunroof) for my child, I would be the hero and the family peace secured 🙂 What is (not) possible? We are currently driving e in the Ford Focus Mk3 1.6 ecoboost with 150 hp (among other things driving profile purchased). I find the engine and chassis really top. But I find the processing under all Sau, sorry. The errors and defects are a story in itself…. Therefore for me no Ford would be considered any more. From VW one hears lately only horror and recall stories. What does it really look like? Visually and from the processing I find the Audi A4 Avant really good, but at least the pain limit erreic hen, if not blast. Thank you very much. Greetings Florian
