  • Cars – Help Leasing rates

    Hello guys, I need help, how high the leasing rates are currently with large customer status; especially from BMW, Audi and Mercedes. In my upcoming staff interview I will probably be offered a company car. I can order a service car for 450€ net pure leasing rate (i.e. without maintenance etc.). Duration is probably 48 months at 20,000km/year. In order to assess whether I can get an attractive car with it, I try to find out what you can do with Is there a kind of rule of thumb, like BLP 45.000€=450€ Leasing rate or something like that? Have my cars bought so far in cash and no leasing experience. In a first information sheet it was only said that one should point to the large customer status when creating the offer. However, there was no mention of the fact that one gets special discounts with certain brands/car houses or similar. Although it is probably difficult to get detailed information, it would already help me w You can say which direction it can go. Thank you and then a good slide! P.S. I’ve already researched a lot by search function, but somehow not found the right one. Should I have missed something, sorry!

  • Question wording: Company car or private vehicle

    Hello everybody, I’m about to make the decision “Company car or new private vehicle”. Brief information on why I make the decision so difficult: – I have a work path of about 70 km per way. – When using a private vehicle I get 50 cents per kilometer (for back and forth). – I have a car with a workmate who doesn’t have a company car, but also gets the 50 cents/km There is a car with a BLP of about 60,000 €. I have the opportunity to get a home office contract. In this case, only 1.0% taxation would occur. However, I am still regularly in the company. What if I would then drive with my work colleague? I would “stamp” myself when visiting the company and if I could be audited, it could be proven that I am/was often in the company. Nevertheless, I would not have been able to go by car. Is this a risk or something manageable for me? First of all, thank you for your support.

  • Withdrawal in the case of Plus3 financing

    Hello everybody, is there any experience of the return of Plus3 financing here? A residual value is assumed, which sounds to me at first similar to leasing with residual value. What happens if the residual value is significantly lower when the return is due to political conditions? For own damages one will probably have to pay the lower value, as with leasing, I guess? And can one actually see or get the return log of the previous owner? Example: Scratches in the basement with first-owners. First-owner pays low value, damage is not repaired. What prevents MB from calculating this damage again as second-owner? Don’t even have to be intentional, but if this is not logged anywhere, would it happen like this or not? I would be happy about a few experiences, thank you.

  • Selling financed car

    Hello dear friends of the MOTOR-TALK, I have a question here. Hope you have a solution. I and my girlfriend and I financed a car 3 1/2 years ago. A Citroën ds3 Racing. Now we got offspring and the car has become too small for us with 2 children. The car has a residual debt of about 750€ at the bank. According to several dealers etc. it turned out that car is only about 5500-60€ worth. Since you can not give the car in payment because a overfinancing is not allowed, we are now facing the problem that we don’t know how to get rid of the car without taking up 2 financings. Does any of you have any idea what else to do?

  • Audi private leasing or balloon financing

    Hello, I’m thinking about financing my new car by the following ways: Audi A5, 150 hp, diesel, factory service car from Audi and 13,000 km Price: 32,000 € mileage: 3 years and 15,000 km per year 1. Financing: Rate with inspection and also rate protection 360€ But almost 26,000 € Final rate 2. Leasing: Rate with inspection but without CAP for 400€ No closing rate I definitely want to return the car after 3 years to have no repair costs etc. What does in my F We all don’t know where the road currently leads with internal combustion engines. And the final rate, should I take the car or the value be clearly below it, should be further financed. I don’t want the residual value to be well below the final rate, and then I pay a lot of money on it. I don’t have a spent return value, according to the seller, the dealer doesn’t want to take the risk. What should I do? When leasing, the car doesn’t belong to me, but it doesn’t matter. At least I don’t have to worry about the market development and also about the residual value. Thank you.

  • Moto Morini 3 1/2 carburetor overflows

    Good day, I have a relatively old motorcycle and am getting it back in shape. However, I can’t get it on for a long time. The motorcycle only has a kick starter. It’s a Dellorto VHBZ 25 B S carburetor. The carburetor has been overhauled. However, when starting it comes out of the golden vent tube in the air intake (picture follows) petrol sprayed out. I assume that the carburetor overflows, as the spark plugs are always wet. I have b ereits tries to turn the mixing screw completely for the fuel supply, but even then petrol from the tube sprayed. Does someone have a tip ? Thank you very much! Addition: The whole thing only occurs with a carburetor on a cylinder.

  • Seat heating works only partially

    Hello! I’ve had a KIA Sportage GT Line NQ5 for a month now. In my sportage, the front seat heating takes quite a long time both on the driver’s and the passenger’s side. But for my feeling it only heats in the thoracic vertebra area (upper back) and in the lower leg area. At the seat and in the lumbar vertebra area (cross), where it would be most important for me, it remains almost cold in my opinion. I was also at the KIA dealer today. I mean, if it basically works, you can’t do anything. I meant that it just doesn’t work for my feelings in some areas. You could only ask KIA if you can do something there. He wasn’t willing to feel the differences with his hand, and only meant that feelings can be different from one person to another. I just find this behavior a cheeky one. What are your experiences with the seat heater? The seats also have a seat ventilation. Can it have something to do with it? Thank you for your answers. Greetings Claus

  • Oldtimer replacement marking – expert report – varnish etc.

    Have some classics in the stable, which I drive little but sometimes, and there is a red oldtimer change mark. With this you can drive e.g. to oldtimer events, make test drives etc. Makes sense only with several bikes in this status. Before now a review has to take place (§23). Question: Do there apply the same rules as with H-marks for car oldtimers? There it says for example, that the paint must (for example) have the original color. Have here three wheels, with the following Beso changes: 1. Machine has grey painted engine covers, which were original aluminium-silver. 2. Tank + side lid repainted plus a decoration (under clear varnish). 3. Accessories exhaust (scheibl, contemporary). Is there any problems with the report to be expected?

  • MZ ES 250/2 Regenerating shock absorbers

    Require the concentrated expertise of the Schraubergemeinde again. I’m just repairing the original spring legs of my MZ ES 250/2 team. The original sleeves are just back from the chromer and now it should go to the inner life. 1. The filling quantity and which damper oil is described in the manual. Here, however, I would be interested in your experience of quantity and oil. 2. In the forums it is described that the inside spring should be painted with grease around Gerää It is expressly described not to use roller bearing grease or grease to lubricate the lubricating nipples. Unfortunately, no statement of what kind of grease. Do you have recommendations such as thick and whether the springs with which grease can be used? It should not run out in the heat. 3. Spare parts for the inner life seem to be only very limited available. In the relevant suppliers I see only the felt ring, the upper shaft sealing ring with dust lip, the inner plastic ring for the e chrome sleeve. Do you have knowledge about suppliers who have more spare parts in the delivery program? For example, the rubber buffers at the top of the piston rod. I would also be interested in statements about quality experiences. If the replicas are rather garbage I would rather work up the original parts and use them again. Thanks in advance, Biker’s greeting Heinrich

  • Correct alternator controller/rectifier for Mopedauto Exot

    Hello, I am currently restoring a very rare moped car from the company Allcars from Italy. The Mechanic components are now working, now it should go to the electrics… Information or even spare parts are unfortunately hard to find for this rare vehicle. The part of which I think it was the controller is not much left. A manufacturer or similar can not be recognized either. For this reason I wanted a universal controller, or one from a similar Fa Only I have no idea what I have to pay attention to (correct dimensioning(ampere)? Regulator or rectifier? or both? Then in a component or separate? How to connect, cable? etc…) A 50cc 2Tact moped motor by motori morini with out-of-print ignition coil is installed. Under the pole wheel of the engine, I know there are two light coils and the interrupter with capacitor. According to the operating instructions, the motor delivers 75w at 12v. (like the one for light, H upe, windshield wipers etc… should not be enough?!) The board system in general also runs completely with 12v If you still need information please let us know. Thank you very much in advance! I look forward to your contributions.
