Opel Corsa or Ford Focus?
I'm thinking of buying a 2002 Opel Corsa 1.2 for €1,800. What are they like? I have also looked at a 2002 Ford Focus Zetec 1.4 and it's not bad for 1,500 Euro. Any advice?

Should I replace my Volvo V40 with a V50?
My 2001 Volvo V40 has got some major problem, which will cost about €2,000 to fix so Iam looking at getting a V50. I got my Volvo when it was five years old and soon after it needed a major part replaced, which was usual for its age at the time. I don't want this to happen when I buy a V50 so wonder what year car I should get? I see a lot of the 2008 models for sale and wonder will they be needing some new part as soon as I get it?
Thanks for your help

Is a Ford Mondeo Estate good for high mileage?
I'm interested in a 2005 Ford Mondeo Estate with 112,000 miles on it. I need to do about 2,400 miles per month mostly on motorways. Would this be a sensible choice in terms of reliability or is the mileage too high?

What else should I consider along with the Audi Q7?
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a 2007 or 2008 Audi Q7 with about 70,000 miles onthe clock. Are there any better alternatives with seven seats and an automatic transmission? What should we pay for either a 2007 or a 2008 model?

Which of these E-Class Mercs do I go for?
Hi guys, if you had a choice of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 220 CDI automatic Avantgarde with 37,000 miles on the clock or the same model from 2010 with 87,000 miles on the clock for same money which would you choose? I could probably get a 2009 BMW 520d manual for the same money...

Is this Kia Carnival a good buy?
Would I have trouble with a 2007 Kia Carnival 2.9 diesel with 80,000km on the clock? When does the timing belt need replacing and are they reliable? Priced at €6,950 - is this fair?
Thanks

With a budget of €6,000 is the Mazda3 a good choice?
Hi,
I have a budget of €6,000 and am looking at picking up a reliable saloon that has good boot space. I am looking at a 2006 Mazda3, but need some advice as to whether this is a good buy or not and what else I should be looking at. Most of my driving is in Dublin with the occasional trip to Mayo. Should I be looking at petrol or diesel? I don't really want to go above 1.7-litre as the tax will just be too much for me.
Thanks

Anything to worry about in the Peugeot 207 CC?
Are there any problems with the 2007 Peugeot 207 CC cabriolet 1.6 diesel? Any reason there are so few in Ireland?
