What's your opinion on the 2009 Toyota Yaris?

Hi,

I would like buy a 2009 Toyota Yaris 1.0-litre manual. It has a Toyota service history service. Is 100k miles too much for its three-cylinder engine? What is average price, please?

Thanks. Sean

Should I consider the Peugeot 206 as a first car?

I currently have an option to buy a three-door 1.1-litre Peugeot 206 for €1,100. The car has 79,000km, from 2002, NCT until March and no tax. It looks in good condition outside from just a few pictures. Do you think this is good value? Similarly there is a five-door version with 94,000km, NCT until May from year 2000. It will be my first time buying a car and I don't have much experience with cars really so is there anything I should be particularly worried about/need to check?

Should I worry about buying a high-performance press car?

Am looking at buying a used performance car; the one thing though that is slightly bothering me is the fact that it was a press car for the launch of the car at the start of 2014. Should I be concerned that it was driven hard and also what would the story be with the warranty etc? Would I be the first owner on the car as well?

Will a Skoda Superb suit my needs?

I want to buy a diesel car for a round trip daily commute of 160km, which is mainly motorway. As I have neck/back problems I want to pick up a comfortable and somewhat luxurious car. I was thinking the Skoda Superb Elegance Greenline 2 (2011), as I have a budget after haggling of about €16.5k. Do you think this is a good choice or do you have an alternative to this? And what is your opinion on private vs dealer sale of the type of car I'm going for?
