My Audi A6 was rear-ended. Help...
Repair or replace?! I was rear ended in my Audi A6 and it needs a new bumper as quoted by an Audi dealer. Insurance company that is dealing with the claim has made the judgement that a repair will do, but I want a new bumper. What can I do?

I'm considering buying an Audi A5. Thoughts?
Hi, I'm considering an Audi A5 around 2009-11 or so. Aiming for about 120k kilometres. Are there any issues that I should be aware of? Or particular parts I can expect to be replacing in the next 10-15k km?

What'll I buy as my first car, for €10,000?
Hi folks,
I'll be buying my first car in a few weeks. Ideally I'd like to find something under €10,000. Just something reliable to get me to and from work, preferably in a low tax band and will keep insurance costs as low as possible (22-year old male). Any advice?
Also, if I'm paying in cash can I expect to get a discount on the asking price in a dealership? If so, roughly what percentage could I hope for?
Thanks in advance, Rob

Is an older Golf a good first car?
Hi,
I'm buying my first car and need some advice on what I should get. My budget is about €3,500 and I'm looking for a car with a 1.2- to 1.4-litre engine. At the moment a 10-year old Golf seems like the most reliable option.
Thanks, Conor
