Is €11,500 a good price for a Ford Mondeo diesel 1.8 with 35,000 miles on the clock?

Would you recommend a 2008 Audi A4 as a good reliable car?

Thinking about buying a used Nissan Almera 1.5 three-doorTekna; is this a reliable car? It's a 2003 model and has less than 70,000 miles on the clock.

Nissan Pathfinder or Volvo XC90? Budget only €8,000.

What is the most reliable people carrier?

How reliable is the Opel Meriva?

I have a 2008 BMW 520d Touring Auto with just 70k miles on it, which is in near perfect condition. I now really need a vehicle that has a higher seating position, making it easier to get in and out of (dodgy knees are the culprit I fear!). The space on offer in the BMW is probably more than I really need now. I'm thinking of a good spec used manual Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi or a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI. I really do not want to spend more than I can get for my BMW so 2009 or 2010 is probably as recent as I can go? Any thoughts on my choice and advice on asking price for the BMW?

Thanks.

My wife and I are expecting our first baby in Jan 2014. She currently drives a '99 three-door 1.0L Toyota Vitz/Yaris (Jap import purchased five years ago - in pink). The Yaris has never given her an ounce of trouble but it's a three-door so getting a baby seat in and out will be a pain. So what I'm looking to know is what we could get for the Yaris (has less than 30,000km the clock) and what is the best five-door that's not too big that we could get from the proceeds of the sale and putting an additional €3,000 towards it?

Cheers, Ian

Anything in particular to look out for if buying a 2006 Toyota Corolla?

Considering buying a 2006 Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TFSI. Are there any known issues with this car and engine or anything in particular to watch out for? How reliable have they proven to be?
