Help me change from Passat to C-Max.

I have a 2008 Volkswagen Passat diesel with 120,000 miles on the clock. I am looking at a 2012 diesel Ford C-Max with 60,000 miles. How much should I expect to pay and would you recommend the Ford?

Many thanks.

Hi Catherine,

The Ford's not bad actually, but make sure that it has been fully serviced and that the 1.6 diesel has had a steady diet of high-grade oil.

Your Passat should be worth about €7,000 to €7,500 as a trade-in.
