Can you help with buying a MINI with outstanding finance?
Looking at at MINI One and the seller is emigrating back out of the country with some finance on her car I believe. How do I protect myself if I bought it off her and how do I ensure finance on the car is cleared?

What is our Ford C-Max worth?
What trade in value should we expect for our Ford C-Max? It's the 2007 facelifted model with a 1.6 petrol engine, 90,000km, panoramic sunroof and full dealer service history. It's been a very reliable car, but as our annual mileage is on the up, we're looking at moving to a diesel. Hoping to replace with either a MINI Countryman or Nissan Qashqai, new or nearly new.

Toyota Corolla or Volkswagen Polo?
Have two cars in mind to buy at the moment: a 1.4 2004 Toyota Corolla Terra or a 2007 1.2 Volkswagen Polo. I travel mostly around town with the odd motorway journey. Looking for the best combo of cheap tax and insurance and performance. The Polo will cost approx €800 more to buy.
