• How long do engines last? 2 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Showed my dad an advert of the car i want -\'96 Mazda 323 1.5 gxi with 70,000 miles. His first concern was that 70,000 miles is too much for a petrol engine (my/his old diesel corolla has done 86,000) and i should watch out for blue smoke etc etc.
• Hood shrinkage 29 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  The hood on my vitesse has shrunk during this summer. I don't know whether it was because it was off the car while body work was being done ( 3 whole months but that's another complaint!) or old age (it's about 7 years old, probably mohair) or the fact that I used a well known hood dye on it. Is there anyway of stretching the hood back or should I just give up and get either a vinyl or double-duck (what ever that is) replacement?

• Toyota Yaris - Older Car with Low Mileage - good idea or no? 29 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  So for a first car, after sharing my mum's car for nearly a year, I've been looking at some of the old style Toyota Yaris - one in particular I'm looking at has done 32,000 miles - the 1.4 D-4D. Now I'm going to be seeing the car in person soon but the advert has claimed it has full service history, has been well looked after, no advisories previous MOT etc - would you say reliability wise this car would be a safe bet to last a while, or would I do better looking at a newer car with higher mileage?

• Time wears cars out? 8 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Sorry for the repeat, but I think the following got lost in the old messages - Robin wrote: 'Thing one: time wears cars out more than mileage these days,like aeroplanes.' Interesting point - Do the people who repair cars when they wear out agree?
• High milage cars 27 Feb 2001 (Forum)

• KIA Pride - What's the best way to sell my old KIA Pride? 7 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  I've an old Kia Pride that I've had for the last six years and now I want to sell it. I know there's at least a couple of people here in the used car game and I thought I'd pick their brains. It's just got a new MOT and I put six months tax on it so it can be legally driven on the roads if anyone wants a test drive (I thought that would also make it more attractive).
