Trade in value of a 2009 BMW 118i?

Hi,

My workplace is in Blackrock and I live in Lucan, so it takes around 25 to 30 minutes to get to the work and I work only three days a week, which makes my annual mileage around 10,000km. I am getting a good deal on a Ford diesel car. Should I go for diesel  or not? Cost of diesel engine is not the concern; I am worried about DPF and servicing costs as my annual mileage is not much, but whatever km I am going to drive would be M50.

Kind regards,

Naseem

Hi folks,

Thinking of buying a 2012 Hyundai ix20. Has mileage of 105,325 miles/169,500km, NCT due date: March 2018, fully serviced and three-month warranty and the price is under €7,000. Is this a good buy? Should I be concerned about timing belt and water pump?

Thanks

What is the best small car on the market with respect to value and reliability?

Trade in price on a 2009 BMW 118i?

I have a 2011 BMW X1 xDrive automatic with 85k kilometres on the clock. When purchased it was for longer drives but now journeys are short and local, less than 10 miles, with the occasional 50-mile motorway trip. We are trying to decide if we keep it and take the hit on preventive maintenance on timing chain, EGR and maybe DPF or trade in on a petrol or hybrid SUV. Trade in values seem low - €13k. What would be your opinion - keep or sell?

Thanks!

How is the 2007 Toyota Corolla Luna for problems, fuel and tax?

Hi guys,

Thinking of buying a 1.4 TSI petrol SEAT Ateca and trying to find a report on the engine configuration. I recently had a test drive in one and at one stage the engine indicated on the dash '2-cylinder mode' - not sure how that works!

Any direction on understanding this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert
