  • Replacement for grandma!

    Moin! Grandma had an accident with her Golf+ 1.6 TDi DSG 7-speed (would have flown apart anyway, I think) and the expert has now detected 10,000€ damage, which is certainly not worth the car any more. Anyway, I personally think it is not worth it, this is VK-insured and you can use the opportunity to repel it, whereby the guilt question has not yet been settled, the accident opponent has hit her in the overtaking ban at the overtaking attempt. Anyway, new car for grandma, fit for rent, automatic, PDC front and rear, so around 10k I would say. She had a petrol truck before, which was also broken to her, then there was the current diesel and in view of the current debate I tend to be a gasoline truck, but what do you take there… Who can recommend cars? In addition to above mentioned requirements, the vehicle should be technically robust, Grandma has not so warm and cold driving, in rolling from R to D she also likes to switch, I say should be a durable, solid machine. Any suggestions? Best regards Jd7430

  • Gebr. 25k or new 40k quiet and comfortable (seats)

    Hello, I am looking for a new car for me. My driving profile: 20000km per year Mostly only motorway. Can change depending on the place of work again and again. I usually do not drive 140-160kmh anymore. It can also be longer distances of 500-800km I am looking for a car that is as quiet as possible in the interior also at 160 and has very good seats. Costs may be needed up to 25000 or new 40000. I do not have to exhaust these upper limits. it usually does not get the point quiet at 160kmh. I have mainly looked at cars from the middle class so far. But I am open for suggestions also from lower classes. The size of the car is not so important to me. I mostly looked for limousines instead of a car. Diesel or petrol I am not sure if diesel still has a future at all. Heisst I come with it in 2 years at all in cities. But I can imagine taking both. I have already at the top of my list Mazda 6 Sportline (After Facelift 2015) Toyota Avensis (Used/New) Citroen C5 Peugeot 508 (Used) Skoda Superb (Used) Skoda Octavia Infinity Q50 (Used) BMW 225d (Previously not, but interesting it would be ) Rav4 Hybrid Tends generally more to Japanese, since I would like to have a car that will last a long time without, for example, 4000 euros in a new DSG or similar investi he has to.

  • Bumper and rim touch how insurance technology works?

    Hello, yesterday another vehicle drove out of a parking lot drive forwards sideways against my vehicle, and touched with its fender my rear bumper (painted), as well as the rim. Paint marks can be seen on the bumper and the rim, they picture. The causer was immediately clear, and will report the damage of his insurance. I would like to know from you what options I have: – can I just repair the damage somewhere Is it no matter where I have it repaired? – can I have the damage determined on an expert basis, and have the money paid out by the opposing insurance company? Since my train is already older this would be an option. Do I have to accept an expert of the opposing insurance company, or can I visit one myself? How would you proceed? Thank you

  • Does the diesel freeze?

    Hi, you might want to drive an X3 Diesel to Leipzig tomorrow. Because it’s so cold there and I heard the diesel freezes at -20°C would fill me up if that’s true or if it’s just a rumor. Thanks already. mfg Phil

  • A7 50/55 TFSI E (Hybrid) Experience

    Hi there, I’m currently looking for an A7 hybrid, for me it’s important that it’s the bigger battery. Background why it’s supposed to be a hybrid is the following: My work path is only 3km, also other completions can be realized within 3km. So I assume that I can drive the E motor for a few days without having to charge. In addition, there are only city rides without differences in altitude. But I also have longer rides several times a month, which I prefer background is that it should save the engine for short distances. I also wonder how the battery works with a 4 year old car. What are your experiences? What can I really expect at 65 km WLTP? Are there any problems with the vehicles?

  • The Gulf V

    I just conigured golf together for fun and found out (again) that the car looks absolutely shitty. Whether you still sleep quietly as a design engineer, I don’t know?!? I just wanted to get rid of it. Thanks!

  • Car to drive to work up to max. 3000€

    Hello, I haven’t had a car of my own for over 10 years now, I could always share one with someone else. But now I need a car of my own again and ask you for help with the selection First of all, I have no idea of cars from a technical point of view at all. That’s why it would be great if you could give me a few important tips on what I, as Auto Laie, should pay special attention to when buying a used car (except for the usual like rust spots etc.). .). I also know that every brand and model has its typical quirks, so would be great if you could go to these quirks. I need the car primarily to drive to work. Are about 10km easy route, i.e. daily a total of 20km. Otherwise maybe still for purchases on the weekend, but that was actually already. Longer distances I will drive rather rarely, maybe 1-2 times a year abroad or so. I also do not care what kind of car it is on the road. At the end, I don’t have any preferences at all. For me, cars are there to drive from A to B, that’s all. It should only be as reliable as possible (don’t want to run into the workshop every few months). And an air conditioning system would be nice as well. Otherwise, I don’t need any special frills. Low consumption is not a must, but would be quite good. The only thing that still bothers me is car insurance. I’ve never registered a car on me before, and w And that also seems to be different from insurance to insurance. And that makes it really hard to compare insurances. Besides, they always want to know the exact car before I get an insurance price. Do you have any tips on how to compare insurances anyway? I’m really looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you already in advance.

  • Delivery vehicle – purchase advice

    Hello everyone. Within the next year I would like to buy a new car for the delivery service of the newspapers. The following criteria are mandatory: 5-door – but does not have to offer much space and comfort, gasoline, max. 90hp, all-wheel (also front drive), good floor height, large windows for good view around the car, practical entry and exit, electric window lift front, maneuverable, spare tires. I can/will do without these things: climate, parking sensors, return camera, other “‘luxury”” , which are absolutely not important for the service – look of the car: no matter. Other details: Dangers are delivered up to 30,000km a year, mountain on mountain descent, in any weather, every day, curvy routes, partly also gravel roads and uneven roads/roads, to 95% alone without passengers, night. Max. budget: 17,000€ – cash payment. What I personally have taken into the narrow selection are: VW High UP!, Seat Mii, Fiat Panda (favorite), Suzuki Swift (in budget?) , Fiat 500 The market is too huge that I keep an overview here – I hope you can give me tips on which models are best suited for these requirements. Thanks already, Samuela

  • How bold is Audi going to be?

    So the ach so great Quattro Gmbh is really brazen. Is there something that doesn’t copy from Bmw at the moment and sell as yours? Take the new Splieen with high-speed motor. Ok, you develop it yourself, nothing at all. But everywhere Quattro advertising puts the Audi as the only true all-wheel car maker and what does Audi do now? BMW always copies. BMW builds with 60/40 distribution. Audi now also calls this asymmetrical dynamic power distribution. If the Ingolstätte at least you should not copy Bmw!

  • Cannonball race stopped by German police

    The police have ended a cannonball race today with a full lock of the A1 near Neustadt in Schleswig-Holstein. More than 60 cars with start numbers were pulled out of the traffic, which started on Sunday in London. That was also time for someone to show them where it goes. I don’t think anything about races of this kind.
