How much is my 2009 Ford Focus 1.8 Ghia with 130,000km on the clock worth?

Hi,

I am looking to buy myself a new car soon enough. I am simply waiting to have a full year on my insurance. I got insured on a 1.6-litre petrol Audi A3 Sportback, as my first car, with Axa insurance. The quote was around €3,700. I am looking for a diesel this time and I am wondering what kind of quotes I could be expecting if I try to get insured on a 1.9 diesel this time? There aren't many 1.6 diesel cars around that I would like to get.

Thanks!

If I was to import a car from the UK and it was a 2007 Ford Galaxy with the OMSP of €2,928 with mileage of 72,360 leading to a rate of VRT at 28% making that VRT payable at €819, how would I go about finding the total cost of registering the vehicle in Ireland?

I am looking at the 1.2 N Connecta Nissan Qashqai from 2017 and was wondering what you thought of the engine? Is the car relatively big for a smallish engine?

Hi guys,

Just wondering whether it is possible to convert an estate/touring/wagon into full commercial vehicle to avail of the €333 rate of tax etc? If so, what do the dimensions of the space in the back need to be and are there any other requirements and stipulations such as no spare wheel?

Cheers

Does a 2011 Ford Kuga 2.0 have a timing belt or chain?

Does the 2014 Ford Kuga have a timing belt or chain and at what mileage should it be changed?  If so, does it give a warning when it needs to be changed or will it just snap?

My indicator light is working on outside of the car, but not on dashboard; will this fail the NCT?

Does a 161 Opel Insignia 1.6 diesel have a timing belt or chain? And if a belt, what interval should it be changed at?

Does the 2019 BMW Z4 sDrive20i come with the wind deflector as standard? If not, what is the cost of this accessory and do you consider it necessary?
