Does it have to be a new car for scrappage? I am buying a 2007 Ford Focus and scrapping a 1999 Mitsubishi Spacestar; am I eligible?

Hello,

Thinking of selling my car but price on the websites vary quite a lot for a similar car so finding difficult to see which price to ask. It is a red Peugeot 307 estate (five seater) diesel with 74,000 miles on the clock and in very good condition, with full service history and NCT until August 2017.

Thanks for your help

Hi,  I'm starting a new job and will be travelling about 700km per week. I have €3-5k to spend and really need to keep costs down in relation to fuel costs. What would you recommend?

Thanks

What is the best seven-seat SUV with a 2.0-litre diesel engine?

I read that Volkswagen intends to introduce a Gasoline Particulate Filter to petrol engines. Will this mean that low mileage, short run petrol owners like me could have the same expensive problem that low mileage diesel owners have?

Which would be a better car: BMW 520d, Volvo V70 or Mercedes-Benz E 220?

We are a retired couple, 70 and 68 living in Tralee Co. Kerry and in need of a new car.

Our 16-year-old Toyota Corolla is coming to the end of its trouble free life; the choice of a Toyota was decreed by circumstance, we bought it new, found it a bit 'light' and would like a 'heavier' car with firm and comfortable seating. Can you recommend something?

Please do not recommend a new Volkswagen; to buy one we would need to buy it from the sole Volkswagen dealer in Kerry and after our terrible experience with this dealer we would never, ever buy a car from that dealer again.

Our budget would be about €18,000/20,000, non diesel as we do not do enough driving to justify a diesel car. Can you recommend models of cars we should consider?

With thanks and good wishes

Yours sincerely

What is the current value of a 2001 Skoda Octavia Ambiente with a full NCT and 110,000 miles on the clock?

Why do similar cars, spec and mileage from dealers vary in price, sometimes by a few grand?
