  • Minibus as bike transporter and winter whore

    Hello, everybody. I’ve got one of them on my car from behind and I’m getting coal. The car is an economic total damage (MB CLK 320 EZ 2000). So I’m looking for a new used car. Do any of you drive a minibus as a bike transporter and winter whore? I can often imagine driving out to Spain or Italy. The long motorway stages are kind of boring. The trailer doesn’t fit for various reasons. usual model and manufacturer? I could also imagine an MB Vito. Is that a good idea? Does a Yamaha XJ6 fit in at all?

  • someone want to buy advice? sporty tourer wanted VTR 1000?

    Hello biker Short to me: 1.76 big, reasonably experienced, ride a powerful stature. Pure overland rider, hardly any city or highway. Previously driven xt600 gpz 600 then 1000 and now CB 750. Came with everything well clear, ride also everything else that has wheels To the bike: my CB750 nighthawk is n dream but with 77ps too weak and somewhat unportable against buell 1000s fazer or ducati with which I usually ride… Therefore I need something with more steam but what? Full disguise and stumme It should be comfortable and a little more sporty but it also has to get along with bumpy pas roads and pothole lists! I’m now at the VTR 1000 with 30-50tkm for 2000euro, sporty, horny sound, horny V2, enough pressure and according to what you hear so very reliable and durable .. Disadvantages: SB handlebars still have to get there, semi-covering. Säuft and has little reach… And with luggage is also rather bad. What do you recommend me?

  • Which oil against a slipping wet coupling ?

    Which oil is recommended against a slightly slippery wet coupling? Currently is probably 10w-40 partly synthetic in the engine. Manufacturer recommendation is 10w-40 JASO MA or MA2. I can imagine 10w-50 MA2, like fully synthetic. Or is it true that fully synthetic oils (despite MA2-identification) allow the wet coupling to slide more easily than partially synthetic ones? What about the ester oils (with MA2)?

  • Question of financing: sensible, or too much?

    Hello in the round, I have a financing question. My old car will call for some repairs to the next TÜV (>1000 €) and is a small car, gasoline, 9 years old. I drive more than 50km of highway and city a day + excursions on weekends, more than 12 thousand a year. After 3 1/2 years I would like to have something more comfortable now. At the moment I could probably get rid of it between 2500 and 3500 euros. Desired vehicle is currently a 1 BMW, Diesel, 116d, from 2016, 43 tsd. km, from the Händl I would pay 4000 – 4500 €. The car costs 13500 €. 9000/9500 € would be to be financed. I would be able to pay a monthly rate of 161 € if I were to finance more than 60 months. Basically, this is acceptable to me, as I expect an additional salary increase of (net) 200 € in the summer and I have an indefinite job in the ÖD. } Question: Do I plan here with a too long funding period with a view to the age of the vehicle? The second point that concerns me is the maintenance. My car is now rather cheap. However, I do not see the striking differences between Golf, Astra and BMW in a free workshop. The Astra got away with the costs even worse than the 116d according to the ADAC used car check. In other threads I have read a lot about this, but who has a very concrete experience with models from 2015 on, I would be very grateful to ite to share. Greetings!

  • Paying a car

    Hello, how do you pay a car properly with the least risk? So far I had always paid in cash, financed the rest. Now I want to pay the purchase price completely. However, the sum (about 13,000 Eur) is too high for me as cash. Or is it here the amount still within the usual scope of the cash payment? My experience here regarding the payment processing of larger sums is limited. The car dealer (contractor) said I should transfer one day before collection and possibly bring the transfer receipt. He should register the car for me. Here I have already given him the EVB number. How would you proceed exactly?

  • Commercial Finance / Leasing

    Hello, I need a vehicle for my business, but I probably have a problem. I have to get a little bit further and describe my situation. I had massive financial difficulties 2 years ago and could therefore no longer serve my loan rate until it came to the pay-as-you-go. I made myself independent at the beginning of the year. But kept my old job part-time. There I currently earn ~1150 € net per month. The pay-as-you-go is still running. advertising runs very well (the profit is ~ 2500 €/month before income tax) and I urgently need a vehicle (Ford Transit, Citroen Jumpy o.ä) for the company in the new year. But fear that it will become almost impossible due to the payroll & Schufa entries, because I have nothing in my hands except the BWA of my business for just 10 months and just in the Corona time nobody can say how the situation of my business or my income will develop in the next years. rd. Does anyone here have any idea of the matter or an idea how to solve it, if leasing or financing is rejected? Used car purchase is unfortunately not in question, since I had to put my previous profits almost completely into the operation to get it to run so well at all. So I currently have only a few small reserves for possible repairs etc.

  • Financing early triggers – interest rates?

    Hello all, first of all the little history: August 2019 relatively young Golf 7 GTI financed. 900€ paid, 12k Euro run on four years. Well, by changing jobs, promotion etc I have been able to travel so well in the last months that I can trigger my car prematurely in November. What I could already read out from my contract is a precaution compensation, which VW would like to have. This is to be counted with one percent (1%) of the still open loan amount. However, I could not find: Will the interest, which is charged over the four years, be partly refunded to me (or charged)? Before I call the VW Bank now, I wanted to ask for advice here, maybe one of you already has behind it. Greetings

  • Why no cars without a motor?

    The term motor is only a synonym for an energy source. Likewise one can call a magnet an engine. If I attach a number of strong magnets below 45° to the road, and if I attach the same pole under my car, the car moves forward as well. So my question is: Why always only cars with engines?

  • Start-up aid polarized – Consequences?

    Hello together… the following has happened… I needed starting aid today… because the “+” cap was on the “-” pole in the donor vehicle. However, both cables were connected to the poles of the batteries and not as usual at the car / contact point on the engine block. If I have no mistake in thinking then means that the short circuit is only “available” in the cable between the two batteries and thus the risk of damage to other parts of the vehicle. I have changed the defective battery today and everything is running without any errors. But I don’t know about the “donor vehicle” yet… it hasn’t driven since. So it’s still going to show up. What’s your assessment?
