Looked at nice diesel Saab recently: my friends say run, what do you think?

What are the running costs associate with the Volvo S60 2.4 diesel?

How much is the tax on a Lexus RX 400h?

Do Opel Astras (three-door, sport version) hold their value and is there demand for used models? I am thinking of buying a 2008 model and I am just wondering would it be easy or difficult to sell on privately in about two years time. And would it loose a lot of its value?

Thanks.

I've been telling my wife that her next car should be a diesel for years. She may drive up to 50 miles a day so I was convinced that it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a diesel. However, diesel and petrol models of the same car are priced completely differently. So assuming you wanted a car for an average of three years and the price difference on purchase is €1,500 - €2,000 more, the saving is non existant; in fact it's a loss based purely on fuel costs.

Am I wrong and just crap at maths?!

Thanks

What cars should I consider for a 17-year old girl's birthday? It has to be safe and with lowest insurance class possible?

Hello,

For financial reasons I have to sell my 2005 Citroen Xsara Picasso diesel. I really like the style of the car and therefore I would like to stick with Citroen. Vitally important though is: it MUST have three seat belts in the back. So I am looking for a smaller and cheaper to run vehicle. I will have about €2,000 to spend. Can you tell me what cars of under 1.6-litre have the required three seat belts? I have three grand-daughters!!!

Many thanks,
