  • Searched for engine damage to new family car.

    Hello, unfortunately I have had a bit of bad luck. Dec 2016 bought an Octavia 1Z Kombi 1.8 TSI with 100,000 KM for 7000 € (had a paint damage, therefore somewhat cheaper,) after 22,000 KM skipped the steering chain in September – all 4 valves have mounted, engine damage. (had reported) Now I am looking for a new Kombi, because we can not get far with our Meriva B for a long time, because the place is not enough. We have 2 dogs and in 2-3 weeks comes also the first Nac In addition, it has only 101 hp and is empty already quite tough here on the hilly country roads – slightly uphill runs the 80-120 kmh acceleration towards infinite.. Key data of the search: Budget: Almost 6-7 thousand euros I would have available now in cash, the rest I would have to finance, absolute limit I see there at 15,000 euros, so altogether 21-22 tsd. Euro – which I do not want to excite. This is a rather stupid price region, as I fixed Used Mercedes E- or C-Class T-models with under 100,000 can be found here or also daily registrations/new cars in the Astra/Focus Kombi class with several years new car warranty. So, what do? Ideas? Would you rather take a used (and this time checkbook maintained) around 100,000? In itself I was very happy with the Octavia, really stupid.

  • Find a comfortable car of the upper middle class.

    Hello friends, I’m looking for an upper-middle class car for a maximum of 6000 Euros. I find the BMW 5 Series E39 very comfortable. The car should not have cracked the 185,000 km depending on reliability. It should make the 200 km/h. Nice would be automatic. It should also have some extras at least servo, air conditioning, electric window lifter, seat heating etc. The car what I’m looking for should be reliable, so I don’t have to pay stupidly and stupidly to keep the car in service (clearly quite oh I’m a male and 20 years old. The cucumber I want to buy should be a gasoline or one with LPG. The consumption should now be as tight as possible the BMW 525i has a great consumption despite automatic. So such a 540 or so it does not come into question it should be common engines. They are affordable. Through the TÜV it should also make best without big theater. What are your suggestions which I definitely want this comfortable feeling like in the BMW 5 Series. I like BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. Also the Jaguar X-type. Thanks in advance

  • A lot of technology for little money

    Hello, my wife needs a new car in all at the latest one year, then the TÜV of her car runs out and it is scrapped. As the title says we put more money on technology than on power.

  • My friend made a stupid mistake selling a car.

    Hello together, in advance it’s not about myself but about a friend of mine. He sold his car recently. Everything went quickly without a purchase contract. He received the money, had the ID card shown briefly, the picture compared then the car was charged in a registered condition and away he was. The buyer said he reported the car and sent the signs to, he did not make of course. My colleague then to his insurance, case sign ert. The insurance only meant that is not her problem in such a case he is obliged to pay 3 months further because they do not let him out of the contract. When it turned out that the identity card was faked (he had called the competent authority for the address) he went to the police. He has cell phone number from him and the guy is also available. He wanted the police to locate him by cell phone location. But do not make as long as he does not But has the buyer not already committed a crime by the wrong ID card???? How can my colleague now unsubscribe the car, as said there is no purchase contract, no signs, no papers! I am grateful for any help.

  • new used for around 900€

    Hello everyone, I had already posted here in the purchase consultation and asked for advice. In the meantime I had unfortunately other things in my mind than buying a car and wanted to reopen the whole thing here again. Hope that does not count (yet) as spam. I am looking for a new car for me that can cost up to 900€. I will drive c.a. 10,000km per year with it, mainly in the city and ~1 times per month from Frankfurt to Berlin and back. The car should already Sp I would like to know if you can feel it when you go on the gas, but if possible do not consume more than 10 liters (normal driving is normal). Also, it should be reliable, so if possible no car which is known to have frequent breakdowns and needs expensive repetitions. I will be able to afford these as a student rather difficult :/ Depending on the last point it should not be too old (unless the car has generally also become old at age b) I am a big fan of limosines, but I know (also thanks to my 1st thread) that performance, consumption and size can be brought under one hat with 900€, but maybe who has the right idea Actually I had already found my dream car on the Internet (http://suchen.mobile.de/…/206686203.html?…)(hoped to press the price on 9k), but I read that the TFSI of Audi would be very vulnerable. Does anyone have any experience? Thanks for the help!

  • First car at 100 hp

    My 18th birthday is getting closer, I think cars are great and I have been dreaming about having one since I can think of it. I still haven’t found a suitable first car. That’s why I turn to you again. I probably had some wrong ideas about my first car so far (like Porsche 924, 944 etc.). So: My car should, as already mentioned in the title, have the, respectively from 100 hp. It is also important to have a good safety equipment and amenities. Because of my size, I also need good leg and headroom. I won’t drive that much for the time being and with diesel it’s a thing anyway, so it’s supposed to be a benziener. Of course, the car should be affordable in maintenance. A green badge is a must. I prefer European and American brands. If the car would give a little fun, I would also be happy. A chic look is two ar no must, but would be quite nice. Please make a few suggestions that come to mind. Thank you already in advance, Jack!

  • Car from China, who can say anything about it?

    Hello together, I play with the idea of buying a VW Lamando GTS.VW Lamando GTS The problem is that this vehicle is produced exclusively for the Chinese market in China. Basically buying the car in China should not be the problem (I think). What about import, customs, registration etc. Has anyone already had experience with import from China? Thank you for your help.

  • Replacement for Escort for Grandfather

    Hello to each other! For our older grandfather we are looking for a replacement for his Escort 7 (circuit, step tail, 1.6 Zetec). After 19 years and just under 200tkm it is not very well placed for the car, that it would be worthwhile to invest even more money in the vehicle. Our most important thoughts on the topic ‘new car’: Against the background of the fact that the Lord has noticeable problems with the clutch (standing on the pedal, starting, switching, gear finding), we think of an A uto with automatic transmission. After some conversations with acquaintances and specialist lights about this topic, however, it seems to be anything but easy to interpret: On the one hand, it is madness to buy a new car with (hydraulic) clutch system, on the other hand, the question is in the room whether an unaccustomed after decades of switching on automatic and for him and other people is safe. Some say that it is no longer possible or not possible in old age. It is important to get used to automatics, the others see it as the last way to stay mobile in a certain area at all. I rather tend to venture the switch to automatics and think more precisely of a classic converter automatics in combination with limited/comparable engine power. There would then be an automatic step or a variomatics (perhaps even more useful). Alternatively, to the semi-automatic gearbox with dry-coup would still be to the semi-automatic gearbox. It is difficult to say whether the gentleman can get used to the fact that the car is slowly rolling off when the brake is released (converter) or whether it would not be better to find an automatic which only reacts when the engine is powered (semi-automatic/automated manual transmission). I think that you can start with the type of automatic transmission. I would like to discuss the subject with you and therefore ask for your help, as a meaningful decision has to be made. Thank you very much!
