Why is the 95hp Polo so much more?
I was thinking in buying a VW Polo. Since the 1.0 65hp and 75hp petrol models are fairly sluggish, it's the next one up I am interested in, the 1.0 95hp version. But the difference in price between the 75hp and 95hp model is a whopping €2,700 (€19,295 vs €21,995).
I checked the price in the UK and, sure enough, the differential between the same two models is under £900. What's going on here? How can Volkswagen justify the huge price difference in Ireland? I suspect it's to protect sales of the Golf, but then that argument should apply in the UK as well.
At any rate I won't be buying one now.

Wiper and fogging issues in my Octavia.
I drive a 2007 Skoda Octavia Ambient 1.4. I am having problems with wet inside the front and rear windscreens, yet the car does not seem damp. Also, the rear wiper stops and starts as it sees fit. What would you suggest?

Which models is Volvo Pilot Assist on?
Is Volvo Pilot Assist only available in the "90" series cars (XC90, etc)? They are the only ones I see where it's available on the Volvo website.

How much could I sell my Merc coupe for?
Hi, I’m just in the process of getting Irish plates on my Mercedes E 350 auto Coupe BlueEfficiency (first registered on July 2009), which I’ve had in London for four years. It has a panoramic roof, electric mirrors, heated seats, satnav, AMG seats and 68,000 miles on the clock. How much can I expect to sell it for privately?
Thanks,
DD

Should I trade-in or sell my VW Polo?
I am looking to get rid of a 2011 Volkswagen Polo. I have gotten a quote from the garage, but I am unsure whether I should sell back to them or try and sell privately as I feel they did not give me the best offer.
