• The perfect cheap used car 29 Sep 2025 (Forum)
  I prefer buying privately because you get to meet the last owner face to face and seeing where they live tells you a lot about how their attitude to maintenance and their personal finances. This one was on the drive of a particularly nice large home and the very pleasant lady who occupied it had recently had a promotion and car allowance which was the reason for selling despite recently having shelled out for new tyres, rear calippers and a full service.
• A car that a man from Ukraine needs for work. 17 Dec 2023 (Forum)
  I am not hired, because I can not legally leave my daughter alone at home, she is not 13 years old, and employers need people who will work until 7 pm. It's very hard for me and my daughter now, we lack finances. I found a job in delivery, but need a car to work. I wanted to ask all the participants if anyone can help me and my daughter. We need a car, maybe someone has an extra one or doesn't drive one.
• Toyota Auris - Old Corolla or Auris - such a dilemma!!! 7 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  I’m looking into either a 2006 Corolla or a 2007+ Auris. My budget is less than £2,000 thanks to Covid decimating my finances. According to reviews, both motoring writers and users, the Auris is a potentially problematic car ... oil guzzling, parts failing catastrophes. How true is this? I’ve owned 2 Corollas in the past and they were amazing.
• Reliably cheap 29 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  There’s no repairs to worry about for another three years at least and with 50mpg plus economy plus cheap insurance it’s probably as cheap as it gets. But the big saving comes from not taking the expensive dealer finance and instead opting for the cheaper and more flexible bank loan. This saves the best part of £1200 in interest over a typical used car PCP deal at 9.9% APR. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202101218194893

  New to the forum and have a dilemma. I currently own a 2015 plate Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dci and its coming to the end of its finance ageement in June 2018 and I will be handing it back.

• Ford Mondeo - Advice Needed - Short term solution needed 7 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  The problem is there's an issue with my credit file, a mistake which I'm chasing up and is going to take around 2 months to rectify. In the mean time, I don't know what to do. I can't get the 0% finance from Ford until this issue is rectified and need to be on the road to get to work until it's sorted. I'm not good with cars hence am seeking advice from you all, so thank you in advance. Can you recommend any makes/models of used vehicles I could buy for cash and look to trade in when I get the Edge, without losing too much money in the process?
