My 2001 Volvo V40 has got some major problem, which will cost about €2,000 to fix so Iam looking at getting a V50. I got my Volvo when it was five years old and soon after it needed a major part replaced, which was usual for its age at the time. I don't want this to happen when I buy a V50 so wonder what year car I should get? I see a lot of the 2008 models for sale and wonder will they be needing some new part as soon as I get it?

Thanks for your help

What is the going rate for a 2004 Fiat Panda?

I'm interested in a 2005 Ford Mondeo Estate with 112,000 miles on it. I need to do about 2,400 miles per month mostly on motorways. Would this be a sensible choice in terms of reliability or is the mileage too high?

Is the 1.2 diesel engine in the Opel Combo too small to carry loads? I was going to invest in a Ford Transit Connect. Please give your thoughts.

What's the realistic lifetime of a Mazda RX-8 engine?

Is the 2007 Hyundai Sonata diesel a reliable car? Can I expect any problems from a 2.0-litre diesel version in the future? The one I'm looking at has 115,000 miles on the clock.

I have a 2002 Toyota Corolla 1.4 VVT-i petrol, which has just passed its NCT. It is the newer type model for that year and has 138,000 miles on the clock. It has never given me any trouble and is in good nick but I'm doing about 340 miles a week in it and it's costing me about 60 Euro a week in petrol. If I were to sell it private how much would I expect to get?

How much could I get for my 2004 Ford Focus 1.4-litre? It's metallic grey in colour, had nice alloys and only 60,000 miles on the clock. It's a good looking car and drives well.

I am looking for the best economical new car for towing a 1,000kg caravan. Can you please advise if a 1.6-litre car would do?

Many thanks
