What are 'pre-reg' cars and are they good value?

Hi, I was in a Volkswagen dealership recently looking to buy a new car. The salesman said I should come back at the end of the month when they will have new "pre reg" vehicles and I will get a much better deal then. Can you explain what this is and will I really get a better deal, it sounds too good to be true!

Thanks

Is the Mazda RX-8 suitable for a learner driver?

Hi, I am about to buy my first car and I have my eye on a Mazda RX-8 that my neighbour is selling, but I'm not sure if I should make an offer because I hear insurance is going to be an issue and I'm not sure if they're suitable for learner drivers.

What do you think?

Should I trade in my Honda for a BMW X3?

Hi,

I have a 2004 Honda CR-V and would like to trade it in next year for a BMW X3 2.0-litre diesel. What do you think of the X3? Would it be as roomy and reliable as my CR-V?

Thanks.
