Older S-Class or newer Mercedes E-Class Estate?

2008 Mercedes S 320 or 2011 E 250 Estate? Both in great condition. I am undecided between the two. In terms of reliability and running costs, what do you think?

Do you have any idea when an all-new Toyota Avensis will arrive?

Hi there,

Do you have any idea when an all-new Toyota Avensis will arrive? I thought it might have been 2015, but haven't seen or heard anything. Do you have any idea on design, specifications or prices? I'm thinking of it for a family car.

Thanks a million.

How much do you think I'll get for a mint Toyota Starlet?

I have a 1997 Toyota Starlet 1.3-litre with only 26,000 miles on it. In mint condition. Thinking of selling it: what do you think would be a good price for it? Full service history and mileage confirmed.

How much should I expect for my Ford Mondeo?

How much trade in value should I expect for a 2007 Ford Mondeo? It is a Northern Ireland import so has a higher spec than the usual Zetec ROI models including voice control etc. It is a Zetec model with 95k miles. Only reason I'm thinking of trading it in is to go to 2008 or newer for lower road taxes.

Cheers, K
