Ask Us Anything

I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Opel Astra 1.7 diesel. What do you think of these cars? Have you driven them? Are they reliable? What sort of trouble do they give?

I have seen an impeccable 2005 Suzuki Vitara 2.0 XL7 Diesel - a seven-seater. It has one owner, 80,000 genuine miles, and it's bronze in colour. Full service history, five new tyres, new timing chain and NCT until Feb 2015. Asking price €7,500. Is there anything I should look out for before making an offer?

Hi, for a person that does around 10,000 kilometres a year, would you recommend the 1.2 petrol Nissan Qashqai over the 1.5 diesel?

Is a 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 automatic generally a good buy in terms of reliability etc?

I'm thinking of buying a 2008 Mazda6 2.0-litre Sport with 232,000km on the clock. Is it worth going for?

How would you rate the Nissan Juke?

How much was a 2006 Ford Fiesta worth in 2009? I need to know this information for my records.

What is the economy like on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Edition C? Manual vs. automatic?

What should I look out for in a 2010 Volvo S80 1.6 diesel with 80,000 miles on the clock? Is it a reliable car? Are there problems to look out for at that sort of mileage and would they be expensive to fix?

Thank you

I'm thinking of buying a 2002 Ford Focus 1.4 for my daughter. The seller is looking for €1,950; do you think I'd get it for cheaper?
