With a budget of €12,000 is a 2009 Opel Insignia a good buy?

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a 2007 or 2008 Audi Q7 with about 70,000 miles onthe clock. Are there any better alternatives with seven seats and an automatic transmission? What should we pay for either a 2007 or a 2008 model?

How much is the road tax on a 2007 Land Rover Freelander 2.2 diesel?

Is the 2.2 diesel engine powerful enough for Mercedes-Benz M-Class?

Hi guys, if you had a choice of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 220 CDI automatic Avantgarde with 37,000 miles on the clock or the same model from 2010 with 87,000 miles on the clock for same money which would you choose? I could probably get a 2009 BMW 520d manual for the same money...

Will be doing about 400km a week for work and looking for a car that's safe, reliable and inexpensive to run. Is it worth getting a new car? Thinking of the SEAT Ibiza 1.2-litre diesel with 0% finance and the three years' servicing. Is this a good option? Thanks

Would I have trouble with a 2007 Kia Carnival 2.9 diesel with 80,000km on the clock? When does the timing belt need replacing and are they reliable? Priced at €6,950 - is this fair?

Thanks

Hi, just need some advice.

Thinking of purchasing a car from a Northern Irish dealer. The dealer classifies the car as used. It is a 2012 saloon with 3,830 miles (6,136 kilometres) on it and was registered in May 2012. On asking the history of the car as it has so low mileage, the dealer said the car was a UK car registered and used by the car manufacturer at their plant for use by its employees. VRT is payable but I'm assuming VAT is not payable as it's greater than six months old and is just over 6,000km. Just wanted opinions on whether VAT may be payable?

Many thanks

Hi,

I have a budget of €6,000 and am looking at picking up a reliable saloon that has good boot space. I am looking at a 2006 Mazda3, but need some advice as to whether this is a good buy or not and what else I should be looking at. Most of my driving is in Dublin with the occasional trip to Mayo. Should I be looking at petrol or diesel? I don't really want to go above 1.7-litre as the tax will just be too much for me.

Thanks

Hi, I'm interested in a Toyota Prius T3 Hybrid 1.5 , from 2008, 41k mileage, one owner, selling for €8,950. Is that ok to buy? Thanks!
