How much should I ask for my 2006 Skoda Octavia?

I'm looking to sell my 2006 Skoda Octavia Ambiente 1.4 with 120,000 kilometres on the clock, in dark green, but I don't know how much to ask. It's taxed until 02/13 and has an NCT to 2014. Very clean with timing belt and water pump done already. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brian

Is the two-wheel drive Nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi coming here?

You said in your review last year that the two-wheel drive version of the new 1.6 diesel Nissan Qashqai would be arriving "in the middle of the year". Any update on this, as Nissan Ireland has no mention of it on its web site, still just listing the older 1.5 dCi version?

Reckon it's a good bet to import a new Nissan Note?

I am considering buying a new Nissan Note. I have priced from a main dealer and also from a SIMI dealer  who imports from the UK. The import has a higher spec and is about €2,000 cheaper with all the standard warranties etc. Is there anything I should be aware of when buying an import?

Thanks

Ford Focus Estate or Renault Grand Mégane?

I need to replace my 2001 Ford Focus Estate and have a couple of options to choose from: an 09 Focus Estate (Style) 1.6 with 87,000 kilometres (UK import) or a 2010 Renault Grand Mégane (Royle) with 58,000 kilometres. Both are around the same price (Mégane is only €650 dearer). Which of these would be the most reliable and of better value?
