choosing used car

I'm thinking of buying a 2005 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportiva. Are they a good car?

Hi is the 2008 Toyota Corolla 1.4 petrol a good car? It's a Terra model with 103,000km on the clock and is selling for €8,950. Does this price sound ok? It has alloys (Borbet) added. I test drove the car and while it wasnt the most exciting drive it felt better than some other 1.2-litre cars I drove. Is it fuel efficient compared to say a Ford Fiesta?

Thanks

I'm thinking of buying a 2001 BMW 3 Series (E46) SE Touring 136hp. Any problems to look out for on this and roughly what price should I pay? It's diesel with 157,000 miles on the clock.

Hi, I need a new car. I live in a rural area and drive to Dublin for work. I average 300km for work with approximately an additional 150km for leisure. I had a four-wheel drive Suzuki Jimny, but don't really need another off-roader (if weather/roads that bad I won't be driving). I want something sturdy and dependable - nothing fancy, maybe a second hand hatchback - would a diesel engine be a good option? Have a max of €7k to spend. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am considering buying a 2008 Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI long wheelbase with 100,000 miles on the clock; what kind of trouble am I buying?

Which is the better car, a Renault Grand Scenic 3 or a Citroen Grand Picasso? I have a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe petrol and looking for one of these cars. I have €10,000 cash to add!

I'm looking to buy my first car and have around €3,000 to spend. I would estimate that I would travel about 12,000 miles a year. Would you be able to give me any advice on what car to buy, taking into account things like insurance (I'm 22), running costs etc? Any advice would be great!

Thanks

What is the difference between a 'twin cam' and an ordinary Subaru Justy? I am thinking of buying a 2009 model in Waterford, but I think the private seller is asking way too much. I missed one from a SIMI dealer a few days ago - same year and mileage (only 18,000 miles) - which was sold for €5,950 - supposedly not a twin cam.

I would appreciate any information you can provide on this type of vehicle.

Is the Suzuki Ignis a good heavy duty car?

Hi, is there such thing as a spacious SUV with low CO2 emmissions from 2010/2011? I have been looking at the Lexus RX 450h - any advice?
