What is the price of a 2014 Land Rover Freelander ed4?

I am a 60-year-old male with a clean driving licence and full no claims discount. Can anyone give me a rough estimate what insurance will cost? The car is a 2007 Jaguar XKR 4.2 with 37,000 miles on the clock and a value of €30,000. 

Hi,

Could you tell me if a Ford B-Max 1.6 TDCi has a cambelt or chain and if it's a cambelt when it needs to be changed?

Many thanks

I'm thinking of trading in a 142 Hyundai i40 Tourer for a new Peugeot 3008, but would like your opinion on what model would best suit me. I like my comfort, have no children, just my wife and myself, but will sometimes have my 5, 6, and 2 other young grand-kids to bring somewhere, but not all together. Appreciate your opinion. Val

Hi,

I have €20,000 to spend on a manual five-seat SUV. I have narrowed my choice down to a used 141 Volkswagen Tiguan Sport & Style with 95,000km (2.0 diesel manual), which I really like or a brand new Dacia Duster Signature. I have also considered the Mercedes-Benz B-Class. I live in a town and only do about 10,000km a year and I don't want to go below 141.

Also bear in mind my 17-year-old son is going to start to drive in October and he will be driving this car. And that I will occasionally need to transport large items, which both the Tiguan and Duster would be able to handle. I would greatly appreciate if you could recommend which of the two to go for and if you could recommend other alternatives that may be better.

Kind regards

Hi, I bought an Audi six months ago from a non-Audi dealership  and I brought the car to an Audi dealer to find out about service cost and I was told that the alloys on my car were not the real Audi wheels and that would knock about five thousand euro off the trade in price if I want to in the future. I phoned the dealer I bought the car from and he told me that it is just a ploy by Audi to lower my trade-in price.

Could you please let me know what I can do as I paid a lot of money for that car?

Thanks

Hi,

I’m interested in buying a second hand car from a SIMI registered and reputable garage. I’m happy with everything except they don’t have a log book from the customer that traded it in. They did service the car themselves so I’m sure they’ll provide verification of that, but should I be worried about the lack of previous history?

Thanks

What would you recommend as a reliable sporty diesel car for a young driver and easy to insure?

Thanks

Nissan Note 1.5 petrol with automatic transmission: this vehicle is a Japanese import. Would the transmission make a difference to the car's economy?

Chevrolet Spark 1.2: is this vehicle on a par with the Opel Corsa?
