By submitting a question you are agreeing to this statement. Thank you.The question is in relation to my brother-in-law's car, which is being scrapped as part of the Government car scrappage scheme. Can he remove the perfectly running engine from this car and donate it to my brother before he sends it to be scrapped? My brother's engine gave up the ghost last week so it would save my brother the expense of having to buy a new engine. They both have the same make and model of car so it would be brilliant. I've been ringing the Revenue office but have not managed to make contact with anybody who seems to know anything and could find nothing on their website.

What trade-in value would I get for a 2008 Toyota Avensis petrol with low mileage? Also would a garage take two trade in cars, against the purchase of one new car? If so would you give me the approximate value of a 2008 Toyota RAV4 with petrol, low mileage too?

Hi!
Could you please tell me what plans Skoda has for new /replacement/updated models. I believe this information was given in the Sunday World on 26 December (in the write up on the Skoda Yeti), but I missed it.

Hi
I'm looking to replace our '99 Saab 9-3, which has been a great car - now with 206,000 miles on the clock. I'm looking for a safe, reliable family car - four- or five-door - with low tax. I'm contemplating 2008 models to reduce tax - we're currently paying €634. I'm looking at Skoda Octavia, Volvo S40, Volkswagen Passat, Saab 9-3 and Toyota Avensis. I want manual and probably diesel. Which would you advise or are there others to consider?

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a 2001 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 petrol with very low mileage on the clock. Is there anything I should be aware of in terms of getting it serviced? I don't plan on driving it too much but if something did go wrong is it going to cost me an arm and a leg to fix?
Thanks for your help.
Keith
