choosing used car

What are your thoughts on an Audi A4 2.0 TDI with relatively high mileage (100,000 give or take)? 2008 onwards would only be considered due to lower tax. Anything to look for other than full service history?

Changing to a seven seater soon. Could you assess the merits of the Nissan Qashqai+2, Toyota Corolla Verso, Opel Zafira and Volkswagen Touran? Fourth child on the way so will need to use an extra seat regularly. Budget of €15,000 to €18,000 maximum.

Guys, my brother is looking to buy a seven-seater to lug his (many) kids about. Could you advise on the best out there? Budget is only €10k though. If it could deliver on boot space too that'd be a plus, but seven seats may eat into that. Reliability a big thing too (no unexpected bills in a recession if possible!).

Thanks in advance.

Which small convertible should I go for? I have a budget of up to €13,000 and would like a stylish car for a change from my 2005 Toyota Yaris. I do little mileage and would hope to buy something I will love for a number of years. I have been looking out for a Volkswagen Eos 1.4 with leather interior but these are not that easy to find. I have also looked at the Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 but am open to all suggestions.

Thanking you.

What would the best car be to buy when doing about 35,000km per year? I've a 2006 Opel Vectra to trade in with about €16,000 to spend. There's 114,500km on the clock. It has to carry one child and two adults. Thanks in advance.

What would be the best car to go for within a price range of €6,000 - €7,000 with a low tax rate?

What is the best small-engined car for carrying a bike? I looking to buy my first car so am conscious of insurance costs.

I have about €5,500 to spend on a secondhand car. I would like something roomy but economical - 1.6-litre max. What do you recommend?

I'm thinking of buying a 2002 Mercedes-Benz C 180. Any major problems with this model?

2008-09 Nissan Tiida: what should I look out for? How reliable, spacious and good is it as a second family car?
