Thoughts on my Peugeot 508 PSE's value?
Hi,
I have a 221 Peugeot 508 PSE Estate with 88,000km on it - this is the high-spec one with 360hp and all the extras under the sun etc (only three to four in the country I'm led to believe).
Love the car but it is just getting on in years, and I normally change every three years. I went looking at a 241 Audi e-tron GT last weekend to trade my car on and the garage didn't know where to value my car so they had to call me Monday with a value - only giving me €28,000 on my car - I understand a normal 508 estate might be valued between €30-35k but when I bought this car it was €78,000 new (I bought after nine months old).
Obviously, I want to maximise the value of my car on a trade in and to be honest an offer of €28k I felt was an insult but maybe my heart is ruling my head on this one.
Would like an opinion on this if you don't mind?

Where to verify my car's history?
Hi,
I bought a car in the Republic of Ireland, but I didn't realise it was an import or a fleet car. I am now worried the car mileage may be clocked. Where can I get reliable information on this car?

Thoughts on my Kia Rio's clutch?
Having an issue with a 2021 Kia Rio (manual transmission) which I bought new.
A couple of weeks ago, it got stuck in second gear while driving. I pulled in, turned the engine off: gears working perfectly. Turned engine on: it got stuck in gear again. After a few minutes it came right again by itself.
Got it checked in the garage where I bought the car, but they found nothing wrong with it. The car was driving perfectly fine then for nearly three weeks. Then the same thing happened again.
Brought it to the garage again. Was told it was a slipping clutch. I doubt that very much as the car is just four years old with 75,000 kilometres on the clock.
They took their sweet time with repairing it! I received no phone calls from them, no quote, nothing. I had to keep ringing them for updates.
Today out of the blue, I got a text message saying my car had been repaired: "Full clutch replacement" at €1,400. I'm still in shock.
What's the story with the Kia warranty: seven years or 150,000 kilometres? I think a clutch shouldn't fail abruptly after four years and 75,000 kilometres.
I reckon it's a faulty component, rather than wear and tear.

Volvo EX90 or Kia EV9?
Hi,
About to pay a deposit on a 251 Volvo EX90 and I was in two minds versus the Kia EV9.
I've asked the salesman about the Google software issue which seems to be the only issue in reading online.
We want/need an electric seven-seater as we will buy through my husband's company if the most tax-efficient way.
Currently driving a 2.0-litre, seven-seat Discovery HSE and while I love it, the repayments are too high.
Really need opinion on whether we should be go for it - offer seems too good to be trusted, but Volvo seems to be selling off its 2025 demos so husband isn't worried - it's reduced by €30,000.
