  • Need new car even though I’m still on the old number…

    Hello, I really need some advice from you, because I have no idea in this respect and I never had to/wanted to do anything like that before. The thing is this: I left my old diesel in August last year and bought a smoked passat (petrol) and now finance it over 4 years until it really is mine. I made this decision because I had to drive less than before and the difference between diesel and petrol also net more so big r like 5 years ago. In the meantime I have calculated and found that I drive much more than expected and the super is again almost unbearably expensive lately, that I now extremely regret not to have bought a diesel again *damn* Now my question is, do you know a way I can buy a new one for financing. As I said, for the old one I still pay a good 3 years, so sometimes so fast triggering at the bank is not in there either. I’m also not such a big earner that I could say, I pay off just a few months for 2 car rates. Would you really be extremely grateful if you had some tips for me on how to handle this.

  • Which paint gun is good?

    Greetings, I thought before I bought some schmarn I would rather ask you, maybe someone has already had experiences and can help me. At the moment I have only one China paint gun from eBay https://www.ebay.de/itm/254663694557?… With 100 ml cup and 1.0 nozzle. With the gun I have painted 2 cars half and my 924 complete. Results have been acceptable but for my Calibra would also be a complete paint, since u had I thought to buy a new gun. I had to spend 80-120€ now, what makes the most sense then? A SATA or DeVilbiss used to shoot by classified ads? Are there any models that can be avoided or rather on another brand? Thanks already for your help

  • Makita DTW battery impact wrench, but which one?

    Moin Yes I know…… in this respect there are already ellenlange threads I have shot myself on Makita; for me, however, the question is open which screwdriver offers the best compromise of performance and handling to solve e.g. screws on the chassis. The 1000 variant seems to be a very nice knocker with 3.2kg and I unfortunately have no possibility to hold a variant from the DTW family in my hand at all. uben, or does a battery device even create this? Thanks for the information / reviews

  • MAG welding – how to store welding wire?

    For the first time I enjoyed a MAG welding machine. Nothing professional, only for the hobby needs. I know from arc welding that the welding electrodes have to be stored dry, otherwise they do not work well anymore. How is this with the welding wire for MAG welding? If you leave it in the welding torch when not in use or roll it up better or maybe even take the roll out of the device? It’s about full wire, not about filling wire. the workshop – so already dry, but increased humidity (unheated). The welding machine is probably only in use every few weeks. Thanks already for your tips

  • Is there a stationary workshop car?

    Hallows I need a drawer cabinet for my wrench etc., which I can put under my existing workbench. However, the keys are already available. The dimensions would be about 900 high, 780 wide and 570 deep. Everything in millimetres is of course. Because of fire protection it should be sheet metal and not wood. 1. Is there such a thing? 2. Are there universal foam inlays that I can put in the drawers to insert my tool there? I am grateful for any help.

  • Joint ring ratchet key with joint locking and directional adjustment?

    Moin, I’m sure I’m blind or something, but I’ve been looking for joint ring ratchet keys for quite a while, where you can lock the joint manually (such as KS Tools Gearplus) and which have a lever or button to change direction of action, as you know from ratchet. Wanting to turn the keys around can sometimes screw up the day if you do that in the wrong corner… I mean something like that seen by SnapOn in one of the various American YouTube videos I have either a board in front of the hopper or it is not offered. Either a lockable joint or the change lever, I can’t find both together somehow. I’m less convinced of self-locking joints. I’m relatively brand-open, but I certainly don’t import tools myself from the USA (the freight costs alone…) and then still from THE boutique brand par excellence. I don’t drive duesenberg, after all, but Audi. hme what works, even if there is no big brand on it. Maybe some of the people reading here have some suggestions to make it easier for me to search – if there is such a thing. Thanks already in advance. MfG

  • Young used up to 12.000 EUR/ for 70 km. daily journey

    Dear users, since I started my new job, I need a car. I will drive a total of 70 km (35 km x 2) every day from the city of Munich to Munich airport. I would like to discover the beautiful surrounding area of Bavaria on weekends. I will NOT use the car in the city. My employer gives me 0.09 cents/km, so a “quasi” economical car would be good. Therefore, SUVs or old luxury cars are excluded. I am thinking about whether I am looking for a car. BMW 1er should/can buy, or a comparatively cheaper small car. I find BMW pretty from the design, whereby I am not sure to invest so much money for my first car. Unfortunately, I am not a car connoisseur, so I want something that does not cause so much problems (I know it is usually a lucky thing). I would be grateful for your opinions.

  • Purchase decision Octavia 3 Combi vs. Astra K Sports Tourer

    Hello, I am about to decide for a used Octavia or an Astra Sportstourer and need your help. It is very difficult for me to weigh this for and against: 1. Octavia 45.000km 06/2014 16,000 Euro 1.4 140 HP TSI, petroler 1 year warranty towing coupling, winter wheels, new belt, because old wear has, Klimatronic, PDC, Bolero radio, seat heating etc. optically very good condition, except for slight gap dimensions differences on the bonnet and it was probably according to Dekra mal was l is directly in a Skoda contract car house, 1 previous owner 2. Astra Sporttourer K 19500 km 10/2016 16.000 Euro 1.4 125 hp, petrol 2 years warranty without trailer coupling, otherwise everything the Skoda has and more with Android car, 7″ touch also winter bikes (newer). Also Opel dealer. Well the question… The brand Skoda speaks for itself, and everything is a little bit more valuable but also older and with more mileage.. there come with me head and back. Hearts don’t get all together. Who can help. Thank you, Carsten

  • Premium selection with risk?

    Hello, I’m about to buy a car out of the stock exchange, which is 400 km away. It’s Premium Selection. The salesman had assured me that the car had neither scratches nor rockfalls (here in the forum I had read that stonefalls would be tolerated at Premium Selection). My understanding is, should the car still be missing something beyond the “usual wear” then I can have it repaired at my local workshop? It still has 10 months factory garantie e and then 1 year new car connection guarantee. Who has experience here? Or can the purchase at a distant BMW contract dealer also really go in the pants? Greetings and thanks.

  • Car for house construction / work path

    Hello, at the moment we have a Suzuki Splash 1.2 automatic. We want to build now and move to the country. That means it has to be a second car. Well, I know about it zero. Maybe someone has seen an offer which could be apt or a tip what I should be looking for. I am looking for a SUV/VAN/Combi/Kleinbuss. So no matter what: main place. If there is little space in any case a trailer coupling. But that would also be so desirable. ar? My “desire” would be the Ford Explorerhttps://suchen.mobile.de/auto/ford-explorer.html Only I don’t know if 300,000 are for that much e.g. and what the guy has for Macks. Since the car should only drive without me (I would be a driver) Comfort I don’t care what he has for equipment. Price: Well, always such a thing. We want to build and I would hate to finance. Therefore maybe up to 250€…. Maybe you also have other ideas for 3000€ etc. but for that he drives longer. So i would like to finance. I’m flexible but not unlimited. Would be great if someone could help me. LG
