Is it worth buying a BMW 1 Series (116i) for €5,000 with a one-year warranty?
Hi,
I am looking to bring a fully electric car in from Northern Ireland. I am currently looking at a 2022 BMW iX priced at £32,000 sterling (circa. €37k). The car is registered in Northern Ireland and not GB.
Will this be open to VRT or VAT charges on import, and is there a limit to electric car prices coming into Ireland from NI (registered in NI) for which they are then subject to VRT or VAT?
Thanks for the help.
Have you reviewed the Leapmotor B10?
I am a Homecare Assistant (Homehelp) and I drive from 300km to 500km per week. All road types, mostly rural, some town driving, seldom motorway. The engine is turned on and off multiple times during the day. Average drive time between calls would be about 15 mins, for six to eight calls a day.
I'm hoping to get a diesel, but I don't know what size engine to go for, which is more economical and which is better for high mileage.
I'm looking at maybe a Hyundai Tucson or Kona. I haven't driven either yet.
I need a reliable, solid and economical car. I'm open to suggestions.
Budget about €15k.
Thank you in advance.
How much does the MG4 cost?
I'm seriously considering buying a Toyota Yaris GR Sport Circuit. I own a Volvo XC70. So which car would be more expensive to run?
I have a Ford Kuga Titanium 1.5 petrol with a manual transmission. It is not an EcoBoost so does it have a wet or dry belt please?
Which do you think is best please: Dacia Jogger Journey or Bigster? Both top of the range. This is for a single older lady driver with dogs. Also an artist and ceramicist carting lots of stuff about.
Hi,
I am looking for an SUV that would fit two car seats and a booster base. I have one-year-old twins and a seven-year-old. Also need the boot space for a twin stroller. My budget is around €25k and my preference is to get a SUV and not a van shaped car like the VW Touran.
Any recommendations?
Hello,
