  More Opportunities At Auction Today 4 Feb 2008 (News)
  There are still a surprisingly large number of part-exchanges at auction, possibly as dealers clear the decks for the 08 influx. £180 bought three: an 86D Golf 1.6CL auto, a 90H Audi 90 and an 89F FIAT Uno 45. While an extra £85 took away a 95N Citroen ZX 1.4 in the ‘no reserve’ section. But as always when the public arrive in numbers there were variations in the bidding.

  Why 2019 could be the best time to buy a diesel 1 Feb 2019 (News)
  This suggests they are losing their appeal at the expensive end of the used car market, as more affluent buyers are opting for other options from the likes of Audi, BMW, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz – where petrol variants are showing comparatively buoyant valuations."

  Comment: Will electric vehicles ever become classic cars? 7 Feb 2017 (News)
  Formula E (F1 for electric cars) is gathering more momentum and proving the technology where it matters most.
