• Different planet 16 May 2003 (Forum)
  , a 99 Arosa and a 98 Clio, both at £6k and a 175k mile 94 BMW 525 for £5k. Does anyone buy these cars or is there really such a premium to be paid for having the steering wheel on the wrong side of the road? And do they make low ball offers for the cars when they're in the country on the grounds that there's no market for them?
• Outcome 4 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  s recommendation and the backroom archive were strong factors influencing the decision to buy this car. First impressions are much better quality than the Omega (to be expected at the price), more comfortable, very economical (36 mpg so far) ,but not such a ?driver?s? car. CS

• Jap imports 8 Oct 2023 (Forum)
    The only concerns/questions remaining is regarding the cars themselves, does anyone know if theres any reason why it would be a bad idea to import these, I know years ago it was hard to insure due to the different build quality, but from my research the German cars beside the instrument measurements which can easily be changed, the cars are virtually the same but tend to be in way better condition, most of the cars I deal with are up to 4 years old so nothing old.

• Travelling to buy a (used approved) car? 22 May 2014 (Forum)
  What are peoples opinions on travelling for a used car?  It seems all the best ones (Toyota Avensis, Estate, Automatic) are 150-200 miles from me, and a 2.5-3 hour journey away.   How does this work? Do you negotiate over the phone, then travel down, test drive, (and if all is ok) leave your old car with them and drive the new one home?

• Toyota Avensis, Hyundai i30? - Advice, family car with big boot 6 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Your advice please for a large family car, from a novice car purchaser! We are 2 adults, 2 under 5's, currently driving a 14 year old Golf. Love this car as it is so reliable, but noisy, old, takes ages to defrost in the winter... We need more boot space and general space in the car, plus fancy something newer, especially as we travel to visit family on round 250mile trips a few times a year and want to go camping in France this summer, with all our camping gear.
