  • Auto Raise

    I would be interested to know if there are any manufacturers, similar to those in the lower case, who offer kits for a raise? But I think less of off-road vehicles or SUVs but of “very normal” cars. The background is that my parents (both 75) don’t get into deep cars as well. That’s why they bought a Kia Picanto 2 years ago, which is already a bit higher (and also more handy, with automatic, many more convenient). In the meantime they prefer to drive with me, because my matrix is still a bit higher and you can sit in with normal-angled legs, but I think it’s better if they use their own car. What could I do or where do I have to look to find a corresponding elevation (which, by the way, would also interest me in the matrix, too at least to the HA, because it often hangs in the “knees” because of Gas system, AHK and loading). Does anyone have a price idea of what would cost such a thing? What does everything have to be done? Is the exchange from the springs enough or would there be greater constructive effort necessary? Thanks and Gruss GM

  • Wheelchair loading in vans, T5, Viano etc.

    Hi together, I have used a Carolift 6900 so far for the loading of my electric wheelchair into a VW-Caddy Maxi. I have set pictures under my then contribution to the Carolift 6000 and 6900 respectively. Now I say goodbye to my Caddy. Do not ask for the reasons. I am now looking for information about the loading of mainly heavy electric wheelchairs in Van, like the VW Multivan T5 or the Mercedes Viano. I have looked at the usual pages in the net shcon. I’m happy if you could present your loading system with your own pictures as much as possible. I’m interested in e.g. the underfloor cassette lift K90 (side sliding door) or a linear platform lift (vehicle rear or sliding door). Do you have pictures of this – which vehicle you drive? What are your experiences with the lifts ? (winter, curb, reliability, etc.) My E-Rolli : a Meyra Optimus II with electric legrests weighs 150 kg and is really quite large. kurkassettelift carries 300 kg and the linearlifter about 350 kg. The linearlifter is also available with split platform, which then works sideways into the vehicle. In addition, there are probably two different suppliers of linearlifter. Bruns and Apen. What are your experiences? LG JoJoMS

  • Health check for drivers

    Hello, what do you say about the new proposals that older drivers should undergo a health check in the future. The SPD brings into play every 15 years (that maybe starting from 80), others are similar for a check as with the truckers, every 5 years. History certainly also affects many disabled drivers. I am already in favour, but the modalities still have to be determined. I also plead for a regular repetition of the first-aid course. It. As far as health is concerned, I know a lot of older drivers who don’t use their glasses out of vanity, for example, except for the other infirmities (kicks on the passenger seat). Young people, on the other hand, often ride quite cool with sunglasses and full of music-drums at night. That means there is at least some need for discussion. Greetings by Albfan

  • Sale of converted Passat Combi automatic

    Hello, I have a few problems with the sale of a disabled just unbuilt passats, year 2/2009 and only 9200km. My father was paralyzed after a truck accident (work accident) and got some subsidies from the BG to his car. Unfortunately he died half a year ago and my mother doesn’t need such a big car and can’t afford it financially anymore. So I try to sell it. My most important question is, what can the The car was converted for 16500€ and there was an additional grant of 7600€. He received the grant because he did not take an electric wheelchair or something like that. It was bought in February 2009 and rebuilt in June. The BG subsidized with the clause that the car must be driven at least 5 (??? am not quite sure) years before my father could sell it. That’s only 2.5 years ago and now the BG demands a return payment. Is that okay? Isn’t this clause “failed” with my father’s death? The funny thing about it is, for the expensive conversion, they don’t seem to want a refund. I think that’s strange! I don’t know where to turn and my mom is clearly overwhelmed. Another question is where to advertise the car best. I’d be grateful for your advice and maybe I’m lucky and it’s interesting. If one of you takes care of the car, I’ll be happy to post the vehicle data and some more photos. Bye and thank you Semmy

  • Company car additional payment by employee

    Hello, I have a question about the taxation of a company car. I have the possibility to get a company car with a prescribed equipment. Gross list price for this equipment is 27,000 EUR. In addition, I can configure up to 3,000 EUR into the car, which I would have to pay from my own pocket. Let’s say as an example that I fully exhaust the limit of 3,000 EUR and have no way to work (0 km). Then makes monthly gross 300 EUR, the best The fleet management told me that the 1% rule would really be related to the value of EUR 30,000 and not only to EUR 27,000. On the one hand, I pay directly the EUR 3,000 myself and tax it month after month on the duration of the use of the company car. Can this be correct? Furthermore, the following question concerns me: The fleet management told me that the EUR 3,000 will be withheld from my salary and that the This applies only to the calendar year in which the company car was purchased. a) What exactly do you mean by this? Can someone give me a calculation example? b) I found contradictory information on the Internet. Sometimes it is said that this reduction applies only to the first calendar year and that the reduction also goes beyond the calendar year. What is correct? I hope someone knows about it. a little better than me 🙂 If you have any questions about my comments, please contact us! Thank you in advance!

  • Financing with right of return, monthly rates increase meaningfully?

    Hello, I’m new here and I need your help I paid for my first car from the saved car, so I have no idea of financing, but I’ve already informed myself everywhere. I want to finance an Audi A4 car with VarioCredit. As a down payment my old car should be used. The loan amount would be about 30k€, I want to finance for 48 months with 15000 km/year. If I use the proposed rates of the Audi online computer I would have to use about 330€ This would be the value of the car with a certificated right of return ?! Now the dealer asked me how much I would like to pay monthly. I said 400-450€ to keep the final rate lower and because I could pay so much monthly. Now the question: What good is the certificated right of return now ? The final rate (about 13k€) is then lower than the value of the car. If I would then return the car in 4 years, b or would you recommend to keep the monthly rates as low as possible and to put away something in private every month? Thank you very much.

  • Repainted bonnet – Require impairment at sixt leasing?

    Hello, I had reported a damage that was externally in debt at sixt leasing. (This is the article https://www.motor-talk.de/…/…mse-war-not-dressed-t6184102.html) They sent me an expert who also documented the overall condition of my car. He noticed that the bonnet has a higher paint thickness and asked me if something has already been done. Seems to have been repainted. Of course, during my leasing period, it was still a good thing to do. Nothing about the bonnet and I didn’t fix anything either. I have the car now 1 year and 2 months. He recorded it in the protocol. If there has been a repainting of the bonnet and there has been a lack, does not sixt leasing have to inform me about it? Does this not represent a depreciation? The background is: I have completed the Vario financing and would like to buy the car after the leasing period, because otherwise I would like to make losses. Then you could assume that it is an accident car and I don’t get much more for the car. In case of a takeover, is the car not as much value as sixt calculated with the repainting. Shouldn’t the residual value or purchase price have to be adjusted? Do I decide for a return it would have to be taken into account there? How should I proceed? A legal protection insurance ha should I turn to sixt first or should I turn to everything with legal counsel?

  • Car financing – first pay cash and then finance with car financing

    Good morning together, I’m just hitting around with a question and I can’t find an answer to it anywhere. So I hope for your expertise and put it here for discussion, maybe someone has a similar situation and can bring light into the dark with his experience. I want to buy a used car. It costs 14,000€ and is relatively cheap, so I feel a pressure to buy it quickly under roof and compartment. I have the money at short notice. In other words, I would like to receive part of my liquid funds with a favourable interest rate on the car. The classic way is to choose a car, to regulate financing, to receive money from the bank, but not to use all the money for it, but to leave 500€ as a buffer and to finance it with a car loan. In other words, I would like to receive some of my liquid funds with a favourable interest rate on the car. I would like to pay car, take it with me, and connect car financing for 500€ and pay me out on the account. On the one hand, I have so much more peace of mind to compare financing offers and to carry the documents together, on the other hand, I would have the certainty that I will get the car and could use it right away. Has anyone already completed a car loan afterwards? l outstretched, and then refinance with a car loan? I wonder if the bank would finance a paid car at all or if these loans can only be concluded before the conclusion of a purchase contract. I hope for helpful answers and thank you now quite warmly, also for the many advices on other topics that have often helped me in the past as a passive user.

  • Substitute financing wg change of vehicle

    Hello, I’m new here and have a question. We financed a car at the BMW Bank and now want to take a loan at the house bank, we want to pay off the financing early with the loan and negotiate the car for a new one. Is that so feasible? Or does the letter go to the house bank? The new loan is not a car loan but a private one.

  • Kreidler Florett City 50 4T accelerates badly

    Hello, I am completely new here and hope that my contribution is right here. I recently added a Kreidler Florett City 50 4T as a craft project. Since I was interested in learning from screwing, little to no idea, I searched through forums and various videos. I added the scooter with a conrod bearing damage and broken valve, ergo also smashed piston. Have the engine ( GY6 139QMA/QMB ) completely apart All engine seals were also renewed. New cylinder, new cylinder head (but with shorter valves than before) new control chain, new control chain rail, new camshaft. Everything in 50ccm. In principle everything was completely renewed inside the engine. I also installed a new CDI and new alternator because I noticed that the old two cable blanks were sharpened. Now to the problem: The scooter jumps sup If I let the scooter turn on the main stand everything works, as soon as the rear wheel touches the ground it does not come from the spot. I give gas but it does not start by itself. If I push it with my feet and give it gas, it slowly accelerates but I come to 30Km/h at the highest and then it ends. For me it feels like the engine is really going to speed but the power is lost somewhere. Has possibly j request a tip for me where the problem might lie? LG
