  • Wollmilchsau and the dilemma of a spoiled petrolhead in the search for the right car

    Hello dear MTler, as read in the headline I have a little Dilema to deal with at the moment. In fact it is rather a “luxury problem” but maybe one of you has the ignition idea and can propose me a car which I did not have on the screen yet… Currently I call two vehicles my own – a Nissan Murano from 2005 with 95,000KM and a BMW 320Ci (Coupé) from 2002 with 205,000KM. The two are really basic differences but this also makes like the R But what I have now just got on the transmitter is that both of them alternately have one or the other zipple in 14-day mode. On the one hand, this is now going into money on the other hand, the time is simply no longer justifiable. Now both of them are supposed to give way to a single car / SUV / pickup… And here we are already at the problem!!! According to my wish, the new mobile kit should bring with them the most important features of the two vehicles – and these are: m BMW: precise steering coherent motor-gear-concept trailer coupling (yes, the coupé has a removable!!! AHK with up to 1500kg towing load) Reliability (up to 6 months ago) At Murano: convenient entry and exit space in each compartment row 1 – row 2 – trunk Bose sound system reversing chambera bearer drive As far as the equipment is concerned, it looks like follows: MUST HAVE: trailer coupling with 1500kg towing load or more. Discs from B-pillar in black Seat heating Can not be required: Sound system DAB Leather Xenon Can be saved: Assi systems Navi To get ahead I already tested the following vehicles: BMW 523i E60 FL + engine, gearbox, chassis – space available, entry (probably only built for the Asian market) Skoda Superb II 1.8 TSI Combi + space available Engine / drive was a tick too lame suspension was acceptable in my eyes… Ford Mondeo Tournier 2.0 3.Gen Space OK Motor / drive was too lame… suspension surprisingly good VW Passat B7 1,6TDI (company car) space available in the right place Motor / drive – we don’t want to talk about suspension was OK Where with the driven VAG products somehow a little flair and character was missing. What I consider very sceptical are these air pump motors. I am somehow afraid that after a certain time the air pump (turbo) flies around my ears. So and now with your ideas and Vor For this already a warm thank you!

  • Buy €10,000 Dacia (reason) or Prius (heart)?

    Hello everybody, my aged Vectra C is slowly coming into the years.. has served me so far many years faithfully but he is getting old. Currently 180000 km on the clock, new TÜV there was in 06/2017 after new brakes, brake lines and the suspension were made. Currently, timing belts and a new exhaust would be due and at 80 km/h it starts the hum, only in “slide operation”, however much more I would like to invest now in the last 2 years he has cost € 3,000 (new Z Ündanlage, new petrol pump, battery, normal change, climate maintenance, brakes and suspension…). I got it well for € 1,500 and the costs were clear to me. Should I buy another car he went as a craft car, first car to my partner’s son. Currently I have € 10,000 available, can be less gladly. Driving profile: to me: age 46 – daily 100km, federal road and rural road, from 08/2018 due to move 60km. Drive rather restrained and economical, to the Vectra are i I think about buying a new Dacia or a Toyota Prius used and then driving it back to the technical end. The Dacia would be the reason, the Prius the heart. Since I make a longer tour to my son every 4 weeks (about 800 km) the car should also be reliable. Currently I always have to take a rental car because the Vectra has stayed there two times. I don’t want to invest so much again. I am not a screwdriver and la sse the repairs always make in a free workshop. Greetings Mediuum

    Hello, I’m looking for a used 2nd car for a few weeks. We are just in the middle of the house purchase and move to the country of the future work path is 28 km easy, add shopping trips with 20-30 KM every 4 weeks we visit the parents 200 easy. We are a 4 head family 2 children 1.5 years and 3.5 years. We have a budget of 250€ for the purchase of a vehicle I have to date after (year of construction 2001-2008)Ford Mobeo Kombi, Renault Laguna a Kombi and VW Passat Kombi looked at, but I am open to any hint, tip, criticism. The problems I had when looking for or calling the dealers so far were: that they only sell the vehicles to dealers, the vehicles are only for export, which they were not wide to supply the vehicle with Tüv. Environmental zone is rather marginal. Now to my questions. 1. prefer a diesel or gasoline? 2. Which vehicle with which engine service can you recommend? 3. from Which Bauj 4. How many kilometers should the vehicles max. have that we can still get there about 4 years? I am also open to offer/advertising suggestions. Should questions on your part be open to the Kaufrofil I will gladly answer them. I look forward to your suggestions Daniel

  • Commuter car with space and fun factor – petrol or LPG

    Hi, I just drive 38km to Munich every day. Current car is a 4 Golf TDI,115hp, 19 years old. Since there is currently the diesel premium and Munich will certainly lock out the diesel, I ask myself if it is not time for a change. Actually I would like to take the Octavia RS Combi/Benziner, it has room and thanks to the PS this is certainly splashy and also fun on the country road. He also has place, which my two children need in the back in the second Rei he and I in the trunk for the ride on vacation. I hope that the consumption is still fine, the golf I drive through with 6-6.5l diesel. An alternative would be for me LPG. Unfortunately, I only know the LPG from 2018 is no longer tax-reduced. Whether there are also half way (max 4.years) current models that can be driven with LPG and fit into my requirement I do not know. If there was a half way current car I would actually prefer LPG. I doubt however d the absence of the tax advantages of LPG is still worthwhile (also in terms of the expansion of the petrol station network) What would you suggest?

  • Used car – engine change (finger off or not?)

    Hello, I am looking for a used car and have found an attractive offer online. It is an Audi from 2012, almost full equipment, only 55,000 km and cheaper than many other similar cars. However, it is described that the vehicle was a long-haul vehicle and ran between 2012 and 2015 almost 230,000 km, after which the engine was switched to which has now run 55,000 km in the past two years. also a slight accident damage was eliminated, however all works, including engine change from Audi were carried out and the car is very well maintained and first hand. In addition, the car has an S-Tronic automatic transmission and is not manual gear shift. Finger off from the car or should the engine change not shy away from the purchase? Thanks

  • Purchase advice “Compact car for work/private”

    Hello community, I am currently driving a Golf IV (built in 2003, mileage: approx. 225,000 km, 1.9 TDI, 100 hp). I am satisfied with the vehicle, even though I have the feeling that the golf has been a little “drained”. Suspension and comfort are no longer given. It squeakes quite remarkablely. The engine is typically golf indestructible, which is why the car could certainly go through for a few more years. At the moment, however, I live in Düsseldorf and fear that relati v fast old diesel vehicles are locked out. I intended to buy a newer car anyway. My requirement profile: – comfortable (longer routes such as Düsseldorf – Frankfurt … for professional reasons) – lively (needs but no 180+ hp) – 4/5 doors – enough storage space for a whole drum (golf 4 was enough) – compact enough to find parking spaces in big cities I think that a compact (golf class) car would fit well:Golf 7 vs Audi A 3 Sportback vs SEAT Leon ? I’ve read and heard a lot about the three cars, but I want to hear your opinion about it. – How is the Seat from the suspension / comfort ? Difference from the Golf/Audi ? – Difference between 120/125 hp and 140/150 hp ? Feelable or negligible ? – How would you describe the storage space / space offer from the three vehicles ? Similar ? – Quality of workmanship ? Greeting Prodrummer1603

  • Cut convertible for all year (garage available) for women

    Hoi municipality, the little Peugeot 208 is sold in the middle of next year and daughters are now big enough, so that I want to fulfill my wife’s dream after a convertible next year. The vehicle is mostly short distance (daily 15km to the job and back or shopping tour), there is actually no great requirements for trunk. But also with open cover at least one of these foldable shopping boxes (in unfolded condition *gg* Since we are actually very satisfied with the Peugeot, I thought first of all about a 207cc, but my wife does not like it purely visually and at the moment it does not seem to exist as a new car?! Jo, then came here the comparison MX5 to Fiat124… We will probably look at the two of them, whereby we both do not like the MX5 (only visually) and my wife is burdened with enormous prejudices regarding FIAT… The fact is that my wife would have Bock on a roadster. Golf/Mini/… fall ra us, Hardtop or this folding roof thing would probably be recommended for all year round vehicle? Budget: 35,000,- That means that the list price may also be something above, usually there is still room for negotiation. Oh so, yes… New car, nothing used. And air for the surcharge list would also not be a mistake, so leather chairs and parking aid as well as chic aluminums are mandatory, as well as a clever sound system incl. hands-free equipment. Do you have good suggestions, what we absolutely want best regards from Lake Constance, Pete

  • Powerlimousine/Coupé between 20-25,000€

    Hello dear motor talk community, I’ve been looking for a power limo for a very long time which is also suitable for everyday use, i.e. that I can also drive 2000km on holiday, but I don’t know which ones. So far I thought: What do you say to the cars, advantages/disadvantages? – E60 M5 – C63 AMG – E55 AMG W211 What else can you possibly offer me? Especially I tend to a limo as an alternative also a coupé. Until now E90 M3 A5 Diesel (but only if the I might have thought of a Supra but how everyday it will be with 550 hp. Btw: there is one of such an A5 driving, would have asked a few questions. Thank you already

  • Which cars are at present particularly cheap to get?

    Hello! As the title says, I would like to benefit from the current situation around Dieselgate / Panic mache with the future of diesel / etc. p.p. Which cars are particularly cheap due to the recent political/societal developments? I do not need a green badge by the way! I have never been in an environmental zone in my life and will not do so in the near future. And even if: first of all you have to catch me. I think I can get caught quite often by the savings compared to all these EURO 6 ABC diesels to a diesel with a yellow or red plate. Again specifically the requirements: consumption and taxes do not matter. Plaque is even more minor. The car must stand well in the feed (e.g. VAG 1.9 TDI from 130hp or similar, even bigger would be even better, but please no vulnerable 2.5 TDI of the first years of construction) and the car should be good to wait without having to be in di As mentioned above, I hope that I will get a cheap diesel with a yellow or red badge at the moment. I am completely brand-open and have lost track of all these anti-diesel campaigns – maybe quite expensive used cars are at once very cheap, because nobody wants them. Achso the budget should be max. 15k€. Thank you!

  • Proposals on commuter vehicle.

    Moin. In the foreseeable future my work path will simply be 40-50km, thus 80-100km daily mainly motorway. Every year with private journeys I started 25-30tkm. Whether there will be a carpool to reduce the mileage on the work path, that will still be evident. The focus is on the costs, i.e. the smaller the better. The framework conditions: – up to +- 2500,- – Diesel or LPG (liter price with us 40ct.), or gas-resistant gasoline, although mi The LPG conversion for completely 1500-1600 is quite tight. – is driven rather calmly and evenly. Previously driven vehicles which would fit here too: -Smart Fortwo Cdi Built 2005, was driven about 3 years 60tkm. At 100km/h with around 3.5l consumption. -Opel Meriva 1.8 LPG Built 2005, in 2 years 40 tkm. At 100km/h around 7L gas consumption. *Special case Cityel, which is not motorway suitable and one-seater. To do this one would have to drive over land, this is about one year possible. * My favorite would be a Prius 2 LPG, but unfortunately the budget would have to be increased significantly. Further possibilities that I think up and would fit the framework conditions would be e.g. – Lupo3L tdi – here one reads of problems with automated transmissions. – Basically vehicles with gas-resistant engines up to 4cylinders/2L displacement. I am looking forward to further suggestions.
