  • Require down payment?

    Hello, somehow I’m stuck and don’t really know what to do. I looked at a Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 (BJ 2005, 112Tkm) with a colleague about 4 weeks ago and we were both very positive. But in retrospect there were more and more inconsistencies. For example, there were not 2 but 4 previous owners and there was also no checkbook or something that looked like it, the trunk didn’t open due to software. Anyway, I thought about the Merchant that I would like to have the thing with fresh TÜV, a trunk flap to be opened as well as engine and transmission oil change. Price stood, 500€ I read to him already there for TÜV etc. and as soon as I had paid him 4000€ down payment, he also sends me letter and slip incl. TÜV for the approval. A man a word, after the transfer I received the papers and read the car to me. However, on the 1st pick-up date he could not, on the 2nd (2 days later) everything seemed then smooth but then I got a call shortly before and he said that the boot flap does not open again and he has to bring the car again to Cadillac. Next date is now Tuesday. I doubt, however, that the Cadillac workshop can permanently remove the recurring trunk error with a system diagnosis incl. error delete, since in various US forums this error can be concluded on a defective ECU or relay. now you already spent 850€ for new brakes and I guess 200€ for engine and transmission oil change. Would you hold onto this vehicle or just cancel and demand back the money (at least a conscience amount)? Thank you

  • First car, bmw, vw, renault ?

    Hello finally it’s time for me and I’m close to getting my own car with 18. My budget is 3.500€ and the car should have at least 100ps I don’t drive very much about 9.000km a year to the school short distance and at the weekend about 60km addressed me especially the BMW e46 compact 316i, however I have informed myself a little bit and hear very different opinions, a bigger problem seems to be the engine, which with cold temper I don’t think I can handle it at all and the oil scraper is having problems … So I’m a bit worried if it’s the right investment. As a second option, I’ve come to mind the VW golf 4, I don’t like optically as much as the BMW, but repeaters might be cheaper or ? Both cars are not available for 3,500€ under 100,000 km, for a gasoline quite a lot, or ? Do I have to worry about this mileage already ? The most reasonable choice would certainly be for example the Renault Megane 2, cheap in maintenance and repairs… Unfortunately, the car does not appeal to me very visually but I find it necessary to feel comfortable in his car, so the maintenance is certainly easier… I just can’t decide at the moment… Can I use a BMW with 316 Moto r trust ? Or rather leave the paws off ? :/

  • Ranziger, Cheap Beginner V8

    Hi! My training in the IT sector is so slowly coming to an end and then I would like to buy something with a V8. I don’t care about the performance and equipment. Consumption is not important for the time being. The following things are important: The purchase price should be as low as possible. Good would be under 4000 euros, better under 3000. Then the car should be reliable, especially from the engine (reperatures will be very expensive then quickly) The V-8 Sound is actually the most important thing. It shouldn’t be too new. The car is actually only meant to rock down. So I just don’t want a well-kept classic car, but rather a real rat box. Later the car should also become a rat in the used look. Otherwise I’m actually totally open to everything. Manufacturers and manufacturing countries don’t matter to me. Also high running performance and ETWAS rust don’t scare me off. Year of construction should not be too new. ch likes youngtimer better and for the price there is certainly no newer car anyway It is important that the reperatures (despite v8) do not become too expensive… What could I look around for? As I said, I am totally unbiased and the more exotic the better. What do you think of an Opel diplomat v8 for example?

  • Paying packages at Mobile.de -> does that do what?

    Hi Together, I want to sell our A3, he has been advertising at Mobile.de for about 2 weeks now. Unfortunately, the response is low, an interested person has registered, he wanted to have it after the visit, but has changed in the short term. According to mobile price classification, the “very good price” goes to 22,500€, I want 21950.- This is a free listing, does a paid package bring something? I have the suspicion that my Fzg. is “found too little”. that is and is this changing with a paid ad? Or is there otherwise “improvement potential” on the ad?Audi A3 Mobile.de Thank you

  • Money from the insurance company, pay out or take over the workshop?!

    I have a smaller tail damage with a damage report of 2000€ on my Vento. The insurance opponent belongs to my family. Should I have the money paid out now and buy parts myself and then have it made in the workshop at a good price, so that I may have something else over. To meet my familymitlgied with the higher contribution. Or to make a cost assumption at the car workshop, the works plus a few tuning measures can gle But I don’t have a cost overview. Assuming he collects the full money, but others would have repaired it for half. First of all, I’m going to make an estimate at VW, let’s see what they want. The expert always puts it a little higher. I don’t want my workshop to be enriched with me.

  • Find a small economical car

    Good day together, I’m new to this Frorum and I’m asking for help. Just get in front of me…. My name is Claudia Seidner am 38 years old and I come from a small village in Thuringia (Andisleben near Erfurt). I have been with the driving licence since 2000 and have used an Audi a6 of my parents until 1/2 year ago, which is unfortunately no longer possible. So now to the point… I am looking for a small economical car up to a maximum of 1500€ for the work path ( 30 km ) a track. Important is actually only that I have to spend a lot of my hard-earned money on fuel and that I come to work well and safely. I have already looked at some small cars but there somehow find no real car. Vileicht since you please times so nice and suggests me a few small cars in which direction you would go there, sorry I have no idea of cars. I read something about timing belts and control chain but unfortunately have no plan of it. Important i read the following – maximum 1500€ – climate – 6 months TÜV min – small car I am very grateful about every suggestion … Claudia Seidner

  • Vespa GTS 300 Super 2014

    Vespa GTS 300 Super 2014 now finally with ABS and ASR (antichlupfregierung) and very important: even ABSHALTABLE !!! ASR you need of course at 22 hp (16 kW), 22 Nm and 118 km/h top speed !!! And a 160 € expensive Bluetooth module, with which you can see on your smartphone acceleration values, torque, speed, slanting position, and consumption values, you of course also absolutely need in today’s road traffic !! And dementia sufferers even shows where they park their Vespa have “Do you Vespa?” No, I like Kymco with 150 kmh !!! Quotation ntv: http://www.n-tv.de/…/…uper-remains-lovable-article12740971.html…. More than 2600 pieces were added in 2013 alone, more than ever before. And that, although the GTS 300 Super was not cheap at the last 5390 Euro and, secondly, never a perfect scooter: the helmet compartment was a bit small, the spring elements not very durable, the rusty exhaust, the driving characteristics compared to other 300 scooters were just so lala. It was and is just a Vespa. If you love a compact scooter that is also suitable for cross-country trips, you will almost inevitably consider it. In May the Italian manufacturer Piaggio now sends the 2014 version to the dealers, optically it is only discreetly polished, but technically there are important changes…….. Quoting. It is just a Vespa !! It is what it has always been, a beautiful, lame, unstable but expensive Vespa !! kbw

  • My first scooter, which one is it?

    Hello, I’ve been thinking about buying a scooter for 2 years and I want to finally put it into action. I don’t have any idea about scooters at all and unfortunately I only know people who are like me. so what I’d like to have is a sporty 50 ccm scooter. whether new or needed, I don’t care at all.. the price probably plays the biggest role. I’m ready to pay up to 2,000 euros. if there is now THE super scooter for 2.5 then I could auc It’s important to me that he wears well (if you say so) so he shouldn’t take too long to get fast (as far as you can call 45 km/h fast ). also he shouldn’t have to go to the workshop every 2 months. I find water-cooling as far as I’ve been properly informed better. so I would be very happy about a few suggestions or tips. achja I was in the kbs engine house at hanauer today and I saw a very nice peugeot .. I write You can also say something about the data on vllt. many thanks already in advance I really need help!! lg nana Peugeot Speedfight 3 50cc LC already 2.736 km on it 5.2 PS 04/2012 used : 1.990 euro

  • Installation of the gas train itself

    hello I have asked to replace the gas train from my scooter. so the most important thing first… I have a johnway china scooter, which is identical to the Rex 50 scooter. So far I have bought all the spare parts from this vehicle and it has always fit 100 percent. now I want to make the gas train repair. I am not a professional in it and actually have not much to do with scooters but still some experience with screws so far I could fix the tires sow ohl change the brakes independently without any problems I have now seen that the rope hoist is torn directly at the handle. of course, it is not possible to repair it. I will order a new one now costs approx.15€. now my question: what length does a rope hoist have to have? I mean that must also fit exactly when I pull the train down to the gas, there may be no space between the train or else the train does not pull. I have already the old train on the handle outside, only has to unscrew it down The places where I have to go along the train I have already freed and get quite well. Just as I said, I don’t know how to do this with the length… There are different, and before I buy what I prefer to ask about My workshop I have already asked what that would cost and it was at almost 80 euros. Unfortunately, there is no other workshop nearby. And I find the amount too much for a scooter for which I needed 300. Sell I guess I can’t do it because I don’t get anything for it. Although it’s going well except for the train. So I’d be grateful if you answered the above question for the time being then I’ll go to the purchase and make it. Of course there will be one or two questions that I can ask but only then But if I look at all this it doesn’t seem sooo hard to change it or? One better thing if I’m totally wrong. t pay attention to spelling and grammar but I wrote all this with the tab Many greetings Here are some pictures: Here are the links of the lever (kA if the ne role plays):http://planetoli.de/wp-content/uploa…o-1024×768.jpg The end piece above:http://planetoli.de/wp-content/uploa…1-1024×768.jpg The end piece below in the engine:http://planetoli.de/wp-content/uploa…27-2059401.jpg Here is the point (of the crack) at the lever:http://planetoli.de/wp-content/uploa…427-210046.jpg

  • Aprilia SR 50 R vs. SR 50 R Factory

    Hello, had been fixed on an SR 50 R Factory for a long time now, until I called today with the dealer of my trust to arrange an appointment for an order. He advised me not to go on the phone, because he should cause problems if you drive a lot of short distance, as would be the case with me. Instead, I should buy the carburetor! Since I will enter new territory with it anyway, since I had not had a scooter before, I naturally listen to the nice seller and k A “R” tomorrow! What do you say about it? Are there any who have a factory and can report their opinions and personal experiences? Greeting M.
