  • Comfortable car for the field clerk – used purchase?

    Servus dear automobiles, I have a job change: out of the office, into sales, on the road, where the car becomes practically my second home. The type of work is expected to be employee and independent sales representative at the same time (of course for different companies). The company offers an A6 or A4 station wagon as a business car. However, I myself am a big BMW fan and have long loved the E65 7 with a V8. This one is needed for around 12 years. .000€ incl. “CarGuarantee” on the market. With tax law, I still know almost nothing about it. Therefore the question to you: 1. Does it make economic sense to get the used 7er and not to accept the business car of the company and to have it paid out in cash? 2. Can the purchase price / running costs of the used 7er’s be taxed somehow, if one uses the as independent predominantly (90%) business? Best regards Stephan

  • Good cars with LPG from factory or for conversion

    Since my focus is only fuel costs of 5.25 euros (LPG+E10) despite not very slow driving methods, I am somewhat indecisive about the next car. A diesel should consume at the current low diesel prices (diesel costs a few years ago 1.80 euros) only about 4.5 l to draw the same with the old Focus. For this one is a turbocharger, high-pressure injection pump and nozzles as well as a particle filter. My wish for a new car would be: – gas-resistant 4-cylinder it, so from 115-150hp – Combi – automatic transmission – approx. a 70l tank (gross). My focus has a 63l tank (51,x l go in, which is enough for 600-700Km). Annual drive power approx. 55.000km. Of which about 40,000km work path (almost only highway and federal road). Ford has unfortunately only a 117hp petrol with car gas system in offer and also only with 5-speed manual transmission. Besides, I don’t know the gas tank size there. At Dacia there is car gas only with 75/85hp and only with laughing 33,6l gas tank. oyota Prius with autogas would be the hit (apart from the headroom at the back); but is unfortunately not offered. Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Difficulties in decision making

    Hello together =) It’s about the following three cars: – Mercedes a 45 AMG – Porsche Boxster S – Audi TT RS I would like to buy a new car, but I have difficulty making decisions. I would like to have a sporty car, which can only have 2 seats. It doesn’t matter from consumption and from the PS, since all three show the same values. In addition, all are about the same price. The question is, which car does you have more driving fun with? Which car does the car bring? PS more on the ground? I hope you can help me =) GLG

Petrol or diesel depending on what more pays off. short selection: Volvo S60 D4 VW Golf 7 GTD Opel Astra 2.0 CDTi Biturbo Mazda 6 skyactiv-d 175 MFG

  • ~15t€ / Combi / Inconclusive about model and especially time

    Hello dear community, I’ve never had to deal with the car purchase much before, because I got a Mazda 3 from early on and had previously driven up my mother’s Ford Ka. Therefore, I would be very happy about some advice from the experienced! I have a few more questions and try to split them as well as possible, maybe it works with a thread 🙂 What I search / need: – Current driving performance: 12-15 tKm/a – Price: Still unreliable, about 15 t €. Good offer I would also go higher, but I am happy even if it remains cheap. – Would like to drive the car as long as possible, therefore young age and / or little KM desiredPrimary criteria: – place -> Have a large fabric tent and offspring is planned (1 child, no more) ->Kombi, optimal way roof railing. Currently Mazda 3 without roof railing, which would be with child + vacation too small. With roof railing possibly just so feasible, but then nets necessary for securing! – Low consumption (~5,x Lite r for petrolers would be already top, in the beginning 6 liters also ok). – Solid processing, long life, low maintenance costs. – 140 hp+, like a little more 🙂 – A certain comfort / practicality should be there without the fun of driving is lost. (Functions steering wheel, intelligent storage systems etc.)Secondary criteria: – Automatic (often stagnating traffic in the city and traffic jam…). Unfortunately, however, I am also aware that this means a not insignificant extra charge or incl. alternative cruise control for longer distances. – MP3 – Very far down Navi, even if it is more suitable than mobile phone / normal Navi – Quiet interior (Mazda 3 is starting from 140-150 km/h already very loud in the interior) – Despite all the practical thinking like to drive a little bit sportySo far considered: – Skoda Octavia Kombi (the new one with 150 hp and low consumption look nice already, from paper my favorite, but probably also very hyped and used very expensive) – Mazda 6 (probably a little more expensive) – VW Passat (even more expensive) – By Opel Astra Combi and Ford Focus I was rather discouraged by other laymen, but I also have on the listMy questions: 1. What are the things that I considered? What would you recommend for alternatives? My rough assessment according to my criteria would be Mazda = VW > Skoda > Focus > Astra? Which of the first 3s of the Skoda is probably the most advantageous.2. When to buy? Currently the Mazda has 3, 105 HP, built in 2008, 104,000 KM on the hump. Slight crash at the front (engine hood slightly warped, apron repaired), minimal parking ramper at the rear (plastic, could be polished, only superficial, no deep scratches). According to the TÜV report of 2014, brake discs are due soon. As far as cars are concerned, not at all. Interests just low, nor do you get anything for the car, so now with credit financed? From the belly that would be ~3,000 for the car, ~2,000 equity so credit of ~1 0.000€. Or 3 years wait, possibly upcoming repairs figures. Could then save ~8,000€ minus repairs in addition. Interests may be higher again (with the EC not so dramatic), own car less value. Aren’t cars currently quite cheap? Questions about questions 🙂 Would I be very pleased about a few advices, especially about the time I am very uncertain. Nervig is already partially. Goods just fully loaded in the mountains, always switch down Even on a straight road past the truck is dangerous because of lack of acceleration. When packing I had to look very carefully and he was literally full for the camping vacation to under the roof. But he still does his service completely and drives (still) extremely reliable. I only have to bear in mind that soon more expensive repairs come and in the worst case then still interest and car prices go up. That would be annoying for a car, which is actually not so much Thank you for your patience in reading and all the answers!! Michael

  • How variable are 3-way financings?

    Hello dear people, I have a question about the “diversity” of a 3-way financing. Currently I am a student with a regulated smaller monthly income, which my company pays me (dual student) and drive one, through the factory leased, Audi A3. Now I notice more and more, leasing is not so right for me. It is great at my age always to drive new cars, because I get a new one every 8 months and also that I never thought about workshop costs However, a small screwdriver heart and full of envy I look at my friends, who can make all kinds of beautiful changes on their cars. Of course, I don’t like this possibility with the leasing vehicle, so more and more the desire in me cooks up to me to get my own vehicle. As a car enthusiast, of course, it should not be a bread and butter model. It should be sporty and fun. I actually think of GTI up to max. 18. Thousand Euro. The pity is only, I have no savings in order to be able to pay a fee and the monthly instalments should be quite small with 100-150€ (so that I still have enough reserves for maintenance etc.). My thought game was now: 0% down payment (possibly paying an old used one), small instalments (100-150 €) and then large closing rate. The big closing rate is no problem, since I, with a 36 month financing, in 18 months full working engineer I would also like to know whether it is possible to adjust the monthly instalments after e.g. 18 months from 100€ to e.g. 350€? I already thank you for the answers. Have you had a good evening yet! I would like to thank you for the answers, and I would like to thank you for the answers.

  • Resignation of vehicle order

    Good morning, I ordered a cla by leasing contract. The takeover is about to take place, but unfortunately I am no longer able to pay the vehicle due to a draft room impact (both down payment and monthly rate). The contract was only concluded by email, i.e. I sent the signed documents by e-mail. Now I would have had to sign the original at the time of collection. Further problem I never received an order confirmation un d when ordering a vehicle, we are talking about accepting the attached new vehicle sales conditions. Only these conditions are not attached, I assume that the penalty is fixed there. I have already admitted the vehicle, is there any way for me to get out of the contract free of charge?

  • I have a big request (cost of car maintenance in relation to wage development )

    Good day to my fellow forummen, for a long time it was quiet around me (a lot of work) but now I’m back. I have a personal question for you. How did the costs of a car develop in relation to your own income? Do you feel you are getting poorer or can you keep your car status every year? I hope I have made myself clear. So an example: Our neighbor always drove a Mercedes C class (cost of a C class ) since the year 2000. All Costs of Ownership (All costs associated with the car ) Fuel, wear, car procurement, insurance, car tax etc. So for 14 years he drives a C class. Now with the C class as you certainly know a model change to. Usually he then buys the new model as an annual car. But now he has bought a Opel Corsa (without wit ) Reason: He can not afford a C class anymore, we have looked more closely. In the year 2000 had n we looked at all costs ( invoices ) and then compared the costs with 2014. Partially the costs doubled and then we compared his income ( wage certificate 2000 ) with 2014. The cost of the same model increased significantly more than his income. He earned earlier 3850 DM, that is converted 1968 € Now under unchanged conditions he earns 1750 € His income has fallen. ( profession tram driver ) What has happened between 2000 and 20 14 modified: 1. Elimination of holiday money and Christmas money 2. Elimination of monthly allowances for shift service Therefore my honest question! Figures are not important for me, it counts the percentages. How has your income developed in relation to the expenditures car ?

  • Footroom lighting, which one?

    Hey guys, I would like to buy a stylish footroom lighting. I already looked in the bay and there you will find a lot of offers. I wanted to ask if someone can recommend something? It should be LED with color change so RGB, would be nice if it is a music controller that lets the LED in Rhytmus the music control. I found LED self-adhesive tapes and LED tubes so far. With the self-adhesive tapes I ask myself if they really promise what the Manufacturers indicate and do not fall off after 1 or 2 weeks? With the tubes I ask myself how I can attach the cleverly. Often I have seen finished sets have the firmly soldered cables with a very small length. I would like to light footroom lighting front + back + trunk. Since I have besides my cigarette lighter still 3 switches ( previous owner had there a footroom lighting, but again removed) I would like to use these for it. So I have to have 3 Set ́s buy? One for each switch???! I don’t know if it’s forbidden, but if you can’t send me links to offers you can recommend. Thank you What I wanted to mention is that my car factory did not provide footroom lighting. Own a Polo 6N2 BJ 2001. (As far as I know there are no mounts for glowbrines )
