Is the Suzuki Grand Vitara a good buy?
Hi, can you please let me know if the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0 petrol from 2006/2007 would be a good buy? Wwhat are the most common faults if any? I previously had a diesel SUV, but I had to have the injectors etc replaced, which cost about €2,000. I have about €6,000 budget and a very small fixed income.
Thank you

Should I stay away from the older Merc E200 K?
Hi there,
I looking at a 1998 Mercedes-Benz E200 Kompressor (Sports, petrol) with 52k miles on the clock. Local mechanic says this petrol model is troublesome, specifically oil leaks with typical repair bill of at least €3k, and rear axle bearings wear - wait for a diesel model is the advice... too pesimistic or not?
