In a PCP contract, who gains or loses if the end of contract value of the car is less than the GMFV?

Hi, I have a 2013 Audi 2.0 TDI S line Black Edition quattro with only 21k miles on the clock. I only purchased as an import last summer and love it. It’s my first premium car and enjoy the feeling that brings.

However, recently, I am wondering whether it’s right for me. I’m 6’4” in height and find getting in and out of it's low height a bit of chore. I also use it as main family car for two tall toddlers (three and two) for crèche runs etc.   So space is quite tight. I’ve been considering replacing it with an SUV for the ride height, space, practicality and better fuel economy. Must be good to drive also. I would love to stay premium, but probably wouldn’t afford it in that category. Was looking at the Mazda CX-5 as a compromise or alternatively the new Peugeot 3008, Kia Sportage, Renault Kadjar or Nissan Qashqai. Annual mileage is roughly 10k km and budget is what I’d get for the Audi.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Please advise as to which SEAT Arona models have rear parking sensors as standard.

I reside in Ireland. If I buy a car with Nothern Ireland registation, what do I have to do to change it to Irish and how much would it cost me?

I want to trade in a 2007 Peugeot 207 SE for a similar 2011 model. Assuming no problems with my car roughly how much should I expect to pay?

My wife and I are looking for a second hand saloon, mid-size (1.5 to 1.8-litre), primarily for her use, with a budget of maybe €8,000 to €9,000. Possibilites we've spotted include a 2008 Mazda6, a 2008 Toyota Avensis and a 2007 Skoda Octavia. The car would be doing 15,000 to 18,000 miles per year, so we're trying to find something that doesn't have excessively high mileage already. Might be a tall order, but any advice on the ones I've mentioned, or are there any suggestions on any other makes and models that might fit the bill?

Many thanks.

Hi, what should I pay for a low-mileage 2012 Qashqai 4x4? Trading a 2007 Toyota Corolla Verso with 110,000km on the clock. Would really appreciate advice.

Are there any  common problems with the Peugeot 207CC? Do they have a timing belt or chain? What is mileage like to be?

Hi there,

I'm planning to buy a car for our aupair. I saw a cheap Kia Carens (2004) I could buy from a dealer for €2,350. I'm wondering how economical and reliable this car is. I'm not sure Kia would have been as reliable then as it is now.

Please let me know is the Ford Fiesta 1.1-litre engine an EcoBoost unit, or how does it compare with the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine?
