Should I trust a seller saying he has serviced this Opel Astra?
Hello there,
I would like to buy a 2007 Opel Astra SXi with around 56,000km on the clock. The seller cannot provide any proof of maintenance since he bought it but says that he has done everything. I can see that one belt has been changed (looks new), but I cannot see for the timing belt. Should I do something special or just trust him?
Thanks for your assistance

I have a budget of €3,600 and I need a car that can fit three seats in the back.
Hi, I have a budget of €3,600 and I need a car that can fit three seats in the back, two booster and one baby. I don't want to go above a 1.5-litre engine size. Any advice?. I've seen a Renault Scenic, but have been advised against ever buying one; it's tough as it's in my budget and has the room I need!
