Which of these E-Class Mercs do I go for?
Hi guys, if you had a choice of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 220 CDI automatic Avantgarde with 37,000 miles on the clock or the same model from 2010 with 87,000 miles on the clock for same money which would you choose? I could probably get a 2009 BMW 520d manual for the same money...

Is this Kia Carnival a good buy?
Would I have trouble with a 2007 Kia Carnival 2.9 diesel with 80,000km on the clock? When does the timing belt need replacing and are they reliable? Priced at €6,950 - is this fair?
Thanks

With a budget of €6,000 is the Mazda3 a good choice?
Hi,
I have a budget of €6,000 and am looking at picking up a reliable saloon that has good boot space. I am looking at a 2006 Mazda3, but need some advice as to whether this is a good buy or not and what else I should be looking at. Most of my driving is in Dublin with the occasional trip to Mayo. Should I be looking at petrol or diesel? I don't really want to go above 1.7-litre as the tax will just be too much for me.
Thanks

Is the Fiat Doblo a good buy?
Is the Fiat Doblo with 1.3 MultiJet diesel a good buy? The car offered is a 2009 model with only 9,000km on the clock. She looks like new and is a five-seater with high roof.

Would it make sense to buy an old model petrol Kia Sportage?
Would it make sense to buy an old model 2010 Kia Sportage 2.0-litre petrol with less than 20,000 kilometres on the clock? Asking price is €13,000. What kind of mpg should I expect (most of my driving is out of town)?
