Is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class a reliable car?

Hi there,

I was looking at a 2003 BMW X5 Sport diesel with 255,879km on the clock and an asking price of €5,900 or a 2004 BMW X5 3.0d with 252,660km. Are they any good compared to other SUVs and are the asking prices ok (will be negotiating)? Does it make it difference if manual or automatic? How's the fuel efficiency and performance of X5s? Are there any negative aspects I should worry about before considering the X5?

Thanks a mill once again in advance for your help, advice and response.

Best regards,

Tanya

I have a 12 D Opel Zafira. It was crashed from the side when a car ran into my driver front wheel. Opel said there was no structural damage. Will I lose money selling it? A new drive shaft, new wing and bumper were all fitted.

I recently bought a new Citroen C4 Picasso (semi-automatic). I informed the dealer a number of weeks ago that the car I bought did not have the rear parking sensors, which my model was supposed to have. The dealer has not responded to me on this issue but has informed me that he no longer has the dealership for Citroen. I would appreciate any advice on my way forward here in relation to who should I contact about this matter and how and in what way my warranty will be honoured.

How much road tax will I pay for a 2007 BMW 520d?

What is the cost of road tax on a 4.2-litre Audi R8?

Any comments on 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe vs 2008 Honda FR-V?

Thanks

Hi,

I have a 2007 Kia Sorento 2.5 GSE diesel in Dublin and I am thinking of buying a BMW 5 Series, the 535d.

i) How much will I get for my Kia?

ii) Is it worth changing? I read a great review of the BMW 5 Series.

iii) If I am trading in how much should I pay for the BMW?

iv) Is it safe to buy the BMW from a dealer (SIMI/non SIMI) or should I only go for BMW showrooms?

Many many thanks in advance for your response

Best regards

Tanya

What recommendations do you have for a used car under €3,000?

Can you tell me about the Rover 45? Would a 2004 example be a good car?
