Dear Forists, I’m a budding dad (October ’16 🙂 and my girlfriend already has a daughter (4). Since I’ve had access to a rusty Mazda 3 (what a gammer box!) that is now sold, I’m looking for my own vehicle from summer 2016. Motor: petrol engine, because probably under 15,000 km a year and mostly city and some short distance space: There should be two child seats and the standard baby luggage, also for a trip, fit well in follow-up costs: As low as possible! Price: It should actually cost only 2,000,- to at worst 3000,- Euro (we would have to borrow something there) and because of the upcoming parental leave of my Holden then also last two years without total collapse. I realize that this is much demanded and from 100TKM always something can break. Due to numerous reports and the Japanese reliability, I ended up with these three: Nissan Almera Tino (Fahrwerk mal oll at that age?), Toyota Yaris Verso, Toyota Corolla Verso. What can go into the money? What’s going on? Which of the three would be your favorite? Or something else? How about rust on these vehicles from Bj 2000? What do you say, is it realistic? What are you looking for? Take a professional with you? What do you think of these 100 Euro reports offered at mobile.de? I ask these questions because I’m a social worker. I don’t make much money and my girlfriend doesn’t. Child wasn’t planned, but due to business routes, poor-looking day care and after a baby break, two full-time jobs again, we really need a reliable car. Best and best regards from Berlin Benjamin

Good evening together. Such a thread would certainly fit better into a subforum with the title tuning, there is no such thing here. The following is the point: I have now since summer 2015 installed on my Audi H&R sports springs, i.e. springs for lowering, and correspondingly dimensioned rims. The springs, since there is nothing visually more embarrassing than to mount thick rims and then drive around like on stilts and a huge distance between rubber and body in the wheelhouse to 😉 Have a big circle of acquaintances who have done a lot of things on the car – so there are almost no standard vehicles in possession. There I have now seen a passat with a coilover suspension, which looked really nice with a turned down coilover suspension – even if it is only a passat 😉 Even with my car even less free space in the wheelhouse would not be bad, so I want to turn it further down and add a coilover suspension to me. g. As you know, a car can’t be deep enough. Since I don’t have the idea of it (but acquaintances) and one of them will assemble it, I have a few questions. Which brands offer good quality and what should I leave my fingers behind? How much budget should I plan for what is decent and which brands stand for quality? The advantage of the coilover suspension is that you can turn the car down if necessary and also further up – How deep can the car be, so that you can still register it (like the rims) or is it not necessary, because you can adjust it? What experiences have you made with police checks – they really put the car to the test and see how far you can turn the GF down or nobody does it? Look forward to your feedbacks. Good delayed slide into the new year from me 😉 Lg Gummiwolf

Good evening, I am on the lookout for a 3 or 5 tour up to 500€. In the year I drive about 20-25,000 km, which is why I am open for diesel and petrol. However, the petrolers should have a longer life, as I have read, because a few vulnerable parts fall away? The M54 engines are probably the most robust respectively those, where one has least problems in the long term. I drive to work currently per route 18km, but otherwise also often long highway routes. As Diesel s So it should be at least the 150 hp and with the petrol engine the 143 hp. I realize that I have to accept a very high mileage and an age of over 12 years, which is why the mentioned durability is of course an important factor. Since I don’t really know BMW yet (there are already quite a lot of variants), I hope that I can be helped here, what would fit best for a model and what might be particularly good when buying (weak spots, wear parts, etc.). Thank you very much and greetings, Kalle

Hello dear car friends, I’ve had my rags for 10 years but I’ve never owned a car! This will change now. Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience buying used cars! I’m looking for a variant with plenty of space in the trunk for bicycle, skis and luggage. The car should cost a maximum of 4500 € and not have more than 190,000 km down. I’m going to drive the car a lot over land and highway, but for resale it should necessarily have a green badge . After my first research on the net, I somehow shot myself at the VW Passat.. With three links to vehicles that I might want to look at:http://suchen.mobile.de/…/214444460.htmlhttp://ww3.autoscout24.de/classified/285151921?asrc=sthttp://suchen.mobile.de/…/222422678.html?enforceChannel=Mobail I would be very happy if you could say: 1. what to the linked vehicles or what to do with the price 2. I have a few tips on what to do when buying a Pa ssat absolutely should pay attention 3. possibly. alternatives for me already have many thanks in advance LG Robert
