I got a bank loan easier than a PCP deal...
Hi,
I was trying to apply for PCP finance in February with Volkswagen Bank and got declined. I then applied for a car loan off AIB and got accept for €6k more! Do you think this would give me a footing to apply for PCP next year with Volkswagen?
They seem very strict!

Hyundai Santa Fe or Chevrolet Captiva?
Hi,
I am in need of a seven-seater, was thinking of a Chevrolet Captiva or Hyundai Santa Fe. To explain fully I am a childminder, I average less than 20 miles a day and this will be a second car so looking to keep costs low. Was thinking of an 08 Captiva or a 06/07 Hyundai. I know the tax is high on the Hyundai, but I need a reliable car. I like the Chevrolet looks wise, but any input would be great.
Thank you!

Should I buy this Audi A7?
Hi,
I am buying an Audi A7 3.0 TDI 245 quattro S tronic version (2011) with 71k miles on the clock. The seller told me that he replaced the complete transmission last year in December from Audi South Dublin and has showed me the invoice as well. I know that Audi parts comes with a two-year warranty so this new transmission will have its warranty valid until 2017.
My question is, shall I go ahead and buy this car? I am wondering if the old transmission would have done any damage to other parts of the car such as turbocharger or engine, torque converter etc. What other things should I look for before finalising this deal?
Looking forward to your reply.
PS: I drove this car last weekend and it is absolutely fine without any issue in gear change etc.
Thanks and regards
