  • Diesel, automatic, family compliant, PS!

    Hello, I am looking for a PS-strong family car with automatic transmission and a diesel engine. The car is moved during the week about 10-15km per day and on weekends the post goes to de BAB, several KM. It is a 3 year old and a 1.25 year old with child seats available and a sibling car. The car should be air-conditioned at least and have at least one parking help. (is not for me) Budget: approx. 5000,- I thought of: – Opel Meriva – Opel Zafira – Ford C- Max – Renault Scenic … What else is there? Which would you recommend? A compact van, station wagon, van,…?

  • Small/compact car for up to 350€

    Hello dear motor talk community, unfortunately I don’t know what is important when buying a car and therefore turn to you with confidence. We need a second car from the small/compact class for short distances mostly on the country road and in the city, hardly a motorway. The budget is up to 350€. It would be good if the car was not older than ten years and had five doors. The car should be in an appropriate condition i.e. not too repair prone and I would prefer a petrol engine to a diesel engine. The only equipment I would value would be an air conditioning system, but it is not a must either. Whether it’s manual or automatic transmission is not important. The car is used most of the time by one to two people, yet five people should be able to find space. I estimate the driving performance at about 10000 km/year. I hope nothing important to forget about ha ben. I am very grateful for every recommendation! If someone has a specific offer my postal code is: 48249 (+100Km radius) Greetings!

  • Solid car up to around 13,000 euros wanted… and will not find it?!?

    Hello all, I’m looking for a new car, because my current (Ford Focus Kombi 1.6L TDCI) is causing some problems. Because of my new job, which is 14km away, it doesn’t get enough run out of it now. Criteria: 1) from the ground up it should be solid — I bought the current Focus for 7,800 euros four years ago. Now it’s practically worthless – I get the most out of what I added. 2) Minimum compact class — Since we are a family of four, the car needs a little more space. Kombi would not be bad either. But the car should not become the family transporter, there should be another new one for that. 3) Relatively little running. Depending on the price class I fluctuate here between 40,000 and 80,000km 4) As said gasoline and also manual transmission is a must, after that actually everything can come what wants. So first you look for used cars. -Websites interesting models out. First it should become a Golf V-VII, here there is plenty of choice. Everything looked at… first looked not bad. Then came the disillusionment: I let that the 1.2 & 1.4 TSI engines are not recommended. List viewed: of 9 vehicles were 9 with TSI engines…. ok, further searched. The same applied then of course to Seat, etc. Then looked at Ford, here in about the same problem: the small charged motörchen should not Then I thought now: BMW would be a good possibility, they always make a very solid impression. Here after the 316i, 318i and 320i looked as a combi. Here I finally found a few, where this 4-cylinder engine is now not as recommended as the 6-cylinder engine. Looked: 0 entries. Price-wise they only start from about 25,000 euros. What I noticed then: the market is rolled over by small cars, French and (probably) defects cars. Search I can’t find it after a model where the engine doesn’t cause any problems. Is it really so hard to find a model which is built solidly and has no quirks? Slowly my hair is already falling out… Can someone maybe call me a car/model, which can be recommended in the category? I am grateful for any help! TF

  • Other countries, other statistics, here : breakdown statistics

    ..as the title reveals, other countries (here France, Italy, Spain and Portugal) other breakdown statistics. I mean, it is ok that the German economy is preserved by beautified data in the car magazines and statistics “live”, but, which is probably so strongly beautified, is somehow the hammer… There, besides the ADAC statistics, also the other “tables” get a side taste, or ? The most reliable cars according to brands 1. place: Honda with 93.6% reliability 2nd place: Toyota with 92%* 3rd place: Dacia with 90.6%* The most reliable cars by category City cars: – Honda «Jazz» with 98.9%* – Renault «Clio» with 97%* Small cars: – Toyota «Prius» with 97.1%* – Alfa Romeo «Giulietta» with 95.5%* Family cars: – Skoda «Octavia» with 94.1%* – Renault «Laguna» with 93.8%* Vans: – Renault «Grand Mode» with 94.6%* – Renault «Scenic» with 93.9%* SUV: – Honda «CR-V» with 94.1%* – Dacia «Duster» with 93.3%* The “TOP” of the German Pannenstat istik in all other countries rather the rear ranks..http://www.srf.ch/…/what-cars- few-pannen-have-becomes where the ?

  • Parking space suitable family car searched

    After 18 years driving license without a car I will soon have to get one. Unfortunately I really have 0 idea of the matter and therefore hope for some good tips from you! I am looking for a used car for a maximum of 4000€. Every year I am expected to travel, very generously, probably 9000km on track. With the car it should be possible to find a parking lot regularly also in Cologne. So it is not allowed to be too big. But he should again have enough space for 1 bi my previous ideas are: Skoda Fabia (possibly also the station wagon, which still works relatively short) and the Ford Focus (5-door, but not a station wagon). Do you have other ideas? What about the above mentioned quality? Do I get only one car for the price, in which I have to spend (too) a lot of money on repairs every year?

  • Sports cars/coupé wanted (proposals)

    Hello everybody, I’m currently looking for a “sporty” compact car or a coupé. Unfortunately, I’m looking for something on the hose right now. I hope you might be able to help with something. Before a few basic data: – Budget approx. 15,000€ – BJ is dependent on the purchase cost for me. 15,000€ for a vehicle with BJ < 2008 I find covered - Luggage compartment should be "sufficiently big - Consumption < 12l - Power should be in the range 170 – 210 HP - I lay e value on a semi-reasonable interior, dreary and creaking plastic landscapes are not so my case - I have little to no idea of cars from a technical point of view, so as far as possible no vehicle, where I would be dependent on them. - No hardcore racing ensemble Probably you see such a little my dilemma, I am looking more or less for the egg-legging Wollmichsau which should not cost much. In principle, however, I am not shot at any brand or model. Ic h would be happy about a few suggestions, maybe there is something that has gone through the rags and corresponds to my ideas so far. Of course I am also willing to do without one or the other with my basic data. Thanks+Greetings Small supplement: My annual driving performance amounts to about 10 to 15tkm, more than 15 longer distances usually arrive on the weekend, during the week only 6km working time g. For this reason, consumption is also not really important to me, highest times for a short-stay trip or in relation to the cylinder capacity and the associated taxes.

  • First car

    Hello together although I only start my driver’s license in the summer I have dealt with the topic. Currently I am 16 and would like to buy my first car in the summer 2019 when I have become 18. I have about 350€ available. I would have thought to a golf (Gti)(adventure? in the insurance/tax?) or a Bmw 3er best with M-package. Since I have no ideas what further costs will come to me and how high these will be. Ask me? How much do I have to do as a Fa hranfänger with the tax and insurance reckon what still happens? Since I am already finished with 17 and will make accompanied driving it will also be cheaper or? I make a teacher to the car mechatronicker. Smaller things I can do already on the car. I am also a big fan of tuning. However, I have no experience there and would then try with the car and screw something. Thank you for your answers and your help.

  • Used family car: Van, minivan, station wagon…?

    Hello dear community, I hope that I will be helped here. I urgently need a suitable family car. We would like to have a car like Touran, Zafira, S-max or a 5 car, etc. We will drive about 6000km with it, mainly in the city (shopping, family visits, KiTa,…) Every now and then we drive further away to make excursions. Both children have a child seat (Roman duo plus) Every now and then my nephew comes in the middle with his child seat. My cousin h at a workshop, repairs and parts are no problem. Everything about the EK. petrol or diesel? Automatic or manual transmission doesn’t really matter. Whereby automatic is more comfortable. Eigenltich petroler at the KM, but the used prices between petrol and diesel are very low. A diesel, depending on the motorization, would still be economically worthwhile. Who can recommend something to me? PS: have forgotten the budget. up to 10000. Perhaps 12500. My wife says: No, so much can a car nic ht cost, max. 8000

  • Brewed car search First car 3000€

    Hello dear Com., as mentioned in the title I am looking for my first car. First of all some data: -Budget: 3000€ (max. 350€) -Running capacity about 15,000km/year maybe even more: under 20tkm. -Leader’s license about 1.5 years What matters to me: -Beautiful interior (and center console!) -no automatic -Can also drive 180km/h on the highway and not hang at 120km/h -No combo or even bigger! -Not too many km around 70794 -No air conditioning (no “must” I will probably drive the car for 3 – 4 years. Should not be too expensive in maintenance. For example, I like a golf relatively well. (Dear 3s or 4s?) Or also an Octavia (Limousine). Maybe even a C-Class (Limousine or Cupe). However, did this hear these partly massive rust problems?! So I just ask for suggestions taking into account some of the above criteria. As said the interior is very important to me! Ford Focus or Opel Corsa For example, I don’t like it! Drive for example an A-Class Bj. 2012 If important information is missing Please ask immediately (sorry!). Otherwise I would be very happy about Antowrten. Greetings Jan

  • Used cars up to 4000€ Daily load 80km

    Hi experts =) I need advice as a layman in terms of used cars/new cars. I am currently driving a Peugeot 306 75hp from 1996. This one has until March Tüv and is very wet from the inside. So I’m afraid the winter very much. Since the car also likes to ice from the inside. Moreover, the front axle seems to be slightly crooked, as the tyre profile at the front left uses completely unevenly. Not to mention the not quite functional electrics in the car. So much for my current Wa I have already looked around myself online and also in my surroundings, unfortunately I am overwhelmed to filter and judge the amount of information reasonably. I would like to have a slightly larger interior and some comfort. Since I am now very annoyed by my “soap box”. I am 1,92 large and feel not very comfortable in the Peugeot either. Nevertheless, he has always done me good service. Thus as a basic data: 100 hp year of construction and mileage no matter as long as the car nevertheless long is reliable! Landstraße, city and highway A little seating comfort and space Audi A4 or BMW 520 I like the look very well, unfortunately I don’t know if there is anything neat in the area. So that’s only a clue. If I’m totally fantasizing, I’m sorry. I’m not up there. I’m grateful for any help. precinct13
