  • Buying a vehicle blindly, how best to do it?

    Hello, I would like to buy a used car from Private. The vehicle is a vintage car, which is a restoration object and is currently only partially ready to drive. I would like to buy the vehicle unnoticed, because you can not do much wrong at the selling price and the 2 x 600 km distance in the end means more effort than simply to commission a forwarding company with the transfer. Now however, I have a few questions about which Perhaps you can answer me, or maybe you have some helpful tips for me. How can you make the whole settlement as safe as possible for both parties? I just hate to transfer a four-digit amount to a foreign person without any collateral. A notary in this case does not come into question, since the fees are in no relation to the selling price. Of course, the seller will not send me the vehicle papers without the How would you best proceed? I hope that the question has landed in the right sub-forum and I ask you to forgive me if this is not the case.

  • Successor type for Saab 9-3 YS3F sought Diesel

    Moin people, I need some good advice. My 9-3 diesel has come into the years, rust on both sides in the rear wheel pits and the km stand around the 330 thousand…. Fortunately, there was no disturbance in the last 100tKm. Now I am looking sooner or later for a successor, which should meet the following conditions: I expect comfortable seats, reliability, high mileage, low-interruption, economical, all-weather and long-distance suitable: time I commute weekly 2×570 My prejudices: – pure rear wheel drive: nothing for smooth roads. (I know of the “free swing on icy village parking. ) – German cars: mostly terrible seats – Four rings: Unfortunately, I know too many owners as long-term guests at the friendly. At the moment I have Subaru-Lagacy and Honda-Accord in my sights. Is there a For, Against, or a different opinion? VG Jörn

  • Solid, sporty compact car 12 – 18t € (250-300hp)

    Hey dear co-advisors! Due to the approaching purchase of a new used one, I am just ahead of the quaal of choice!The Lotus Elise or the motorcycle remains as a nice weather fun, so it doesn’t have to be the perfect corner hunter.I need: -everyday fit -from 4 seats -min. 250hp -max. 90t km run (very well maintained exceptions also more) -compact (not bigger and not smaller) -max. ~13 liters in everyday life -SOLIDE! -max. 10 years old, gladly younger -no tuning -good equipment (seat) -max. ~13 liters in everyday life -SOLIDE! -max. 10 years old, gladly younger -no tuning -good equipment heating, cruise control, xenon and possibly sliding roof) Can’t: Ford Focus ST is ugly inside, Opel Astra OPC is too heavy for me, possibly with a good offer. VW Golf R/GTI / Audi S3 is too bender, too weak or too heavy for me. I already have two good offers for a Seat Cupra R (2010) and a Subaru WRX STI (2008). The Subaru probably stands better, has more power and is simply the more emotional car, with new tires & brakes. The Seat is cheaper, newer, has run 20t km less and consumes a little less in everyday life, but 2.0 TSI engine and no confidence in VWAG. But I drove it and it looked well maintained and with the 235 front went already well, which despite front scratcher.Alternatives:BMW 130i is the offer so Mau, otherwise beautiful.Mazda 3 MPS (2nd Gen) am I not sure about turbo, rust and stand-up?Audi TTS, too impractical and difficult in the budget?Megane RS, has only 3 doors, a little cheaper interior, but somehow horny.BMW 135i too expensive/heated?Se at Cupra R from 2012, too expensive and somehow boring? What do you think? What would you take, next to the Lotus Elise for the fun in everyday traffic? Oh yes, the girlfriend has to use it from time to time!

  • Every day almost 300km, autotips wanted…

    Moin, tja, unfortunately the work does not come to me. I commute at the moment with a W211 200k – the km are a lot, but since almost everything is free AB, this is just acceptable. To the W211; even in the saving mode and 8,3 ltr consumption eats me the box fuel and repair the few hairs from the head. A new used car should come – only which? Diesel or LPG? At almost 60tkm/year the car must be mechanically stable and economical and offer some comfort. Budget is 20- 30TEUR (incl. payment of the W211). Considerations currently: – BMW 520d/320d Kombi – C-Class Kombi 200/220 CDI – A4 Kombi – Opel ecoflex Model (da LPG standard) – Additional question: young year of construction with many km or older with little km… In short: I am currently easily stuck in the dead end. We just need a car (where luggage and many shoes have to go in and you have to attach a horse trailer – the last new requirement does not meet both current cars), woman drives A3 Sportb ack 1.2 tfsi. The most useful thing for me would be some small LPG box to eat kilometers and not the above-mentioned family-friendly vehicles… (LPG must not be retrofitted, because woman has biggest prejudices). For woman then something bigger (like e.g. above or an Audi Q5). Alternative to this would be I take her A3 (only how big is the saving to the W211). Does someone have tips to solve the Gordian knot? Apartment on site is currently no option.

  • Hobby photographer looking for a vehicle for his equipment

    Hello, I’m a hobby photographer and I want to get a vehicle for the outdoor shootings. I only use this vehicle on weekends and only for short distances, so I don’t drive hundreds of kilometers. My visions go towards the old SUV or a vehicle where I can sit higher. Sounds stupid but I already have screws and plates in my spine and there are already the short trips in the station wagon (the new Mondeo, my wife’s trolley). more exciting and getting on-off is also more pleasant for my back. Since he needs the vehicle only on one day on the WE or under the week, it could be a car with high running power already ..or. I thought, if the TÜV has and the timing belt has been changed already, I could still use an older year of construction.However, I do not know, until what year of construction there are spare parts or which manufacturer has produced in huge quantities. At the Outd oorsshootings in the forest or similar would also make a SUV better, because of the ground clearance..or. A diesel would probably be nonsense for my few kilometers, but the diesel engines don’t last longer and I could then quietly take a vehicle with 160000 kilometers mileage. Maybe you can give me some help. VG helti

  • Subaru Legacy (2010) or Audi A6 C5 (2002)

    Hello, I need your advice: I have to buy a used car with the following characteristics: – Combi – All-wheel – Handswitch – Petroler, conversion planned on LPG – up to approx.10k€ For me there is mainly the Legacy from 2010 (150hp) and the A6 from 2000-2004 as 3.0. For the Legacy speaks that it is younger, supposedly simpler technology, beautiful boxer motor. Against that, for example, to adjust the valve play the engine has to go out and that it is more an exotic, which for the Audi, that it is upper class/was, that there is a lot of experience to repair and probably also most free workshops can cope with it. And the 3.0 as a hand switch is great. Insuranceally, the two take nothing. What do you mean? Thanks already, cucumber

  • Mini- Compactvan up to 10000 Euro

    Hello, as already written above, I am looking for a minivan. But the more I inform myself, the more errors and problems I discover with the individual vehicles. The vehicle should have a pleasant seat height, because my wife has problems with the back and therefore cannot fold so when getting in and out. I would be able to do the weakest motorization at each time. I always leave in time and therefore never have a hurry. Of course, more performance is ok, but no Meriva A: Problems with the steering and steering chain problems. Merive B: Apparently gearbox problems with 6-speed transmissions. Kia Venga: Poor rust prevention. The B-Max is still quite small and I don’t know what it looks like now with Ford with the rust prevention. Honda Jazz: Probably also rust problems and seat height like normal cars. Probably only the C-Max and the Nissan Note remain. Please don’t propose a C3 Picasso. I already had that. What the useful value. But I haven’t driven a car that burned so much money in such a short time. I don’t need that again. Well, it’s not that easy. Maybe you still have ideas and tips.

I do not put so much value on performance . 170 hp however is nevertheless my minimum presentation , the 300 hp brand should not be reached . For me equipment and sporty, aggressive appearance is more important . Equipment should include for me the following things : (possibly leather equipment ?). I am an absolute fan of the rotary knob for the multimedia package and a duplex exhaust (i.e. a pipe on both sides). So that you can get an idea of which cars I’m interested in, here’s a list: I’m rather unsure about a GTI, the look just doesn’t convince me, that’s why it’s not on the list. I hope you can help me with the purchase consultation and recommend or even explain to me whether this maintenance costs really are so high are.
