  • Is money laundering required in case of a transfer?

    I bought a Golf 7 online a month ago from a VW dealer, my brother paid the deposit, the rest I then transferred a week before I picked up the car myself. Now the seller writes me an e-mail, he needs for the accounting a copy of my brother’s ID card because of any money laundering regulations. I have no problem with this, I see this as a stupid demand. How does money laundering within Germany by bank transfer? And where is it? t that one is obliged to prove himself to be a transferee afterwards?

  • Corolla TS or RAV 4

    Hello together, I’ve been in this forum for a long time but more on the VOLVO page. After now 4 elks in 16years the era Volvo in our house is coming to an end. I just don’t want and can’t get used to the pricing policy anymore. I never had problems on the technical side or trouble with a workshop, everything great. And as a former multi-driver (40000-50000km/year) there was nothing better for me than Volvo seats. The current offer of my dealer and also other driving I want to pay almost as much for a V60 as for a fully equipped V70. After my wife and mother have been driving an Auris hybrid for about. 2 years, I have been more and more busy with this drive. Think of my next becomes a Hybrid 2.0. Now to my question, what would you recommend me. Corolla TS or RAV 4. We have 2 children and I use the car so 15000km/year. Facilities I would take at both lounge What do the leasing offers at Toyota look like? Sincerely Pfanni

  • New car from the farm – How much “discount” can be expected

    Hi, are there such rough benchmarks? The example vehicle (ST FR 1.4 TSI ACT) was (or is) about 6000 € under list, but e.g. still without “Beats” speakers and with Alcantara package (which is probably not available anymore). So new car, but probably not completely new produced. I had – beginners usual – let myself be “muttered” a bit on the first visit and almost not negotiated about the price. So I now also rejected the offer 😀 But for the next time I would like to know how much so you can count on the thumb on discount. Thank you

  • Purchase advice RAV4

    Hello together! After two test drives with an MB GLC and GLB I was recommended by an acquaintance to keep an eye on the RAV4 … so shortly afterwards the test drive with the RAV4 plugin Hybrid came about on Saturday. I had never considered a Toyota in my car selection to date…but the test drive with the RAV4 somehow pleased me…(driving feeling, space,…) That’s why I’ve been trying to inform myself about this vehicle for a few days now. First of all, I am interested in the quality, longevity, maintenance intensity, as well as the maintenance costs from your experience, as I drive my cars for about 7 years on average…. The only thing I know about Toyota is the good reputation in terms of quality and good breakdown statistics…Can you assume that with the current Toyotas too? Thank you in advance and many greetings from the south!

  • Are there any recuperation levels in the RAV 4 plug-in XA5?

    Hello and good day! I’ve already googled and searched here for the following posts but unsuccessfully. Also on YouTube was hoping that in the introduction of the XA5 plug-in I drive a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in EZ 2020 and finally we have a Prius BJ 2013 as a second car. Both vehicles are very good. In the Mitsubishi I particularly like that a manually adjustable recuperation socket is available. There are paddles in the stuer wheel with which you can adjust this. Link s you can increase the recuperation socket by typing from B1 to B5. On the right you can reduce it until you completely switch off from B5 to B0 in B0 there is no recuperation. When driving with D the recuperation socket is automatically B2 and you can then adjust it with the paddles as desired. Now we come to the Prius Man go with D and when I walk away from the gas there is a certain degree of recuperation there. You can still go to the B position and there is more recuperation. n can’t be further influenced Now my question: Is there any paddles or a way to influence the recuperation socket with the RAV 4? I also sent P? to users who drive a RAV4 but got different answers – from “there is none” to “yes, there is …” and “you can control it with the brake pedal” – that’s clear to me but I hope there is a paddle or switch to change the recuperation I might have a bigger circle of participants Maybe a clear answer crystallize out I would be happy about an answer and thank you in advance

  • Electronic differential lock

    Last night I managed to drive my X-Perience hopelessly hard. On a climb with gravel I wanted to pull my little fishing boat with trailer (approx. 400 kg) out of the lake. When starting only the wheels at the front left and back right went through, this made the thing even worse, of course, because now holes were created and the affected wheels were completely relieved. The vehicle then stood only on the wheels at the front right and back left and could easily with These wheels could not be involved in the drivage either. So in winter at Glatte the electronic differential lock always worked without problems, no idea why it didn’t even work at all this time. The trailer had to be uncoupled, and put under the unloaded tires woods, after then a friendly helper pushed, the X-Perience could be laboriously freed from the predicament. N After the Leon was driven a bit in front of the trailer, the team could easily climb up the slope. Did anyone of you have any idea why the electronic differential lock had refused to participate?

  • Insurance okay?

    Hello dear ones, I am looking for a new car and I have the Seat Leon FR 1.4 with 122 hp in mind. What can you report about experiences? According to ADAC a top car. I already had an offer from the insurance company: comprehensive, contribution rate 35% (SF9) with SB of 300€ should cost half-yearly 344€. Since I currently only pay half-yearly approx.150€ partial cascade (Opel Astra H GTC BJ 2007 105PS) and I don’t know in this respect, I ask you now if the 344€ are a “normal” house number. Achja per year I drive about 20 000. Thanks already for your answers )

  • Consultancy Seat Leon ST Facelift

    Hello, I would be interested in this vehicle:https://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… But I still find the price quite high in view of the new price. If I put a good 2000€ on it I get a Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake BJ 07/2017 with also very good equipment and even only 4000KM! The Mercedes should do much better in terms of value maintenance. Visually I find both cars not bad … at the Seat however mMn still have to go well at price something.
