How many used cars were sold in 2013? And how many of those through dealers vs. private sale?

What is the road tax on a Nissan Qashqai?

What is the trade-in value of a 2005 Renault Mégane with 116,000km on the clock? It drives well but all four electric windows are not working.

Thanks, Pat in Skerries.

Should I buy a 2006-2007 Volkswagen Golf with the 1.4 petrol engine? I heard that the engine is too small for this car, which gives high fuel consumption and car is not powerful enough, is that true?

When I turn on main beam the dipped lights still stay on, making a very bright patch close ahead that makes the main beam seem dim. What do you think?

My car is missing the passenger airbag. Will this fail its NCT (there are no airbag lamps on)?

I need help finding a diesel car for €2,000: I need a car to carry two small kids also, something up to 1.6 maybe, was thinking of a car in the Peugeot 307 or Renault Mégane size, looking for something reliable to keep for a few years, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help,

Barry

I have a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta with 46,500km on the clock. I'm the second owner. It's in pristine order. How much should I sell for? It has full service history, etc.

Hi, how much would a 2006 Golf GTI with DSG, leather seats, sunroof, 17-inch alloys and 102,000 kilometres on the clock be worth?

I am thinking about changing the car at the moment. Currently have a 2008 mk V Golf GTI and was thinking of upgrading to a mk VI, probably around 2011/2012 reg. Thing is, would I be better waiting a year and picking up one of the mk VII models that came out late last year instead? And also, new GTI instead of new GTD for driving enjoyment?
