Ask Us Anything

Hi,

I am a proud owner of a new Opel Astra SRi with onStar features. I got 12 months of free subscription and three months of free WiFi. My question is, after three months WiFi subscription, who will provide me with WiFi access and what is the monthly/yearly cost of it?

Hi,

I'd like to live in Ireland and have a Honda Insight Hybrid to import. What will be the cost of import and road tax? I have the car more one year.

Thank you, Jan

Hi,

Just wondering what realistically should we be getting on a trade in for a 2008 Toyota Auris petrol Terra with 160,000km on the clock and no issues? We are now looking for something more spacious. I know you can't guarantee what should be offered, but in your opinion what would be a fair trade in price for it?

Thanks

We have a 141 diesel Passat 2.0-litre and we want to change to a petrol VW, either a Tiguan or a Passat, but the engine size in both looks underpowered. What should we do?

Hi, James here from Dublin,

Can you tell me how much VRT I'd have to pay on importing a 2008 Volvo V70 3.0 T6 AWD Auto? Mileage 105,000 miles.

Did the Hyundai Tucson ever come in a light green colour?

I was thinking in buying a VW Polo. Since the 1.0 65hp and 75hp petrol models are fairly sluggish, it's the next one up I am interested in, the 1.0 95hp version. But the difference in price between the 75hp and 95hp model is a whopping €2,700 (€19,295 vs €21,995).

I checked the price in the UK and, sure enough, the differential between the same two models is under £900. What's going on here? How can Volkswagen justify the huge price difference in Ireland? I suspect it's to protect sales of the Golf, but then that argument should apply in the UK as well.

At any rate I won't be buying one now.

I drive a 2007 Skoda Octavia Ambient 1.4. I am having problems with wet inside the front and rear windscreens, yet the car does not seem damp. Also, the rear wiper stops and starts as it sees fit. What would you suggest?

Peugeot 407: timing belt or chain?

Is Volvo Pilot Assist only available in the "90" series cars (XC90, etc)? They are the only ones I see where it's available on the Volvo website.

Thanks Philip
