• Buying "nearly new" 8 May 2007 (Forum)
  A theoretical rule for changing cars is buy at two years old and sell at five years. My daughter has a five year old Honda Civic and want a Mini. Checking the main dealers sites a two year old mini seem near enough the price of a new one, allowing for the price of the "extras".
• (old) Saab 9-3 vs. (old) Vectra 19 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  There are often discussions on here about the plus and minus points of the old Vectra and how certain motor journalists really slagged it off, saying that it was one of the worst cars on the road. But why was the 9-3 not categorised in the same boat (apart from the convertible which caught quite a lot of flack despite being the UK's best seller).

• what new car following write-off 20 May 2005 (Forum)
  Why is this? I thought the octavia was supposed to be a size class down from a vectra. Is getting a car that is only a year old economically sound as compared to one that is 2-3 years old? Can't spend much above 12k but would prefer 10k or less. Any ideas?

• Car prices are like house prices now! 14 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  I have been hunting around a new car, as my one is many years old. My budget was around £9k for a family hatchback (or estate) around 40k to 50k (pre pandamic).  I was looking at 4 year old cars.  Now even at £14k, I get old junkers which have done a lot of miles and interior looks worn out.
• NCB for two cars 1 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  However we do definitely need to use the old car for the next month. This means that to get the ncb for the new car with SAGA we will have to cancel existing ncb policy on the old car and take a month's temporary insurance on old one without any ncb SAGA don't do short term policies.

• Subaru Legacy and Outback Diesel (2008 - 2009) - oil and filter change - put old filter back on 4 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  They rang saying they'd drained the oil and didn't realise that the diesel used a different oil filter and they didn't have one in stock. A double whammy! I couldn't leave the car with them for another day so they refitted the old filter. They've offered to have the car back and fit a new filter saying that would be ok. I think I'd prefer another fill of new oil as some of the old oil in the old filter will have mixed with the new oil.
• MGB GT - Tyres 28 Nov 2017 (Forum)
  On inspection I found the front nearside tyre had started to laminate and expose the wire casing underneath. My local tyre specialists explained that my 'made in England' Dunlop tyres were probably 20 years old. Although my car had an MOT inspection a month ago it is surely a worry that old tyres on classic cars are being certified as road worthy when they should be scrapped after say 10 years. The recent news whereby cars over 40 years old will be exempt from an MOT is doubly worrying given that some owners have no idea how old their tyres are or how vulnerable they are driving them.
