Trade-in value for my 2020 Kia Soul EV?

I am looking for a trade-in value for my 2020 top-of-the range Kia Soul EV. Only 14,500km on the clock and it has a full service history and just one owner. Looking to trade-in for a new EV.

Thank you

Worth importing a Passat estate from the UK?

Hi,

I'm looking to change from my 2011 VW Passat Saloon 1.4 petrol. This has been a great car for me and I’m looking to change to a 2022/2023 VW Passat Estate - 1.5 petrol. These are thin on the ground here and as they aren't sold here anymore this will become even more so. There are plenty around in the UK but I’m wondering if there are still the same savings to be made when importing from the UK as there once was?

Where to get Japanese car CO2 and NOx emissions?

Hi,

I'm looking to see where exactly I can get the NOx and CO2 emissions data on the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website. I’ve looked on the site for hours and cannot find anything.

Love your VW ID.7 Tourer review...

Not a question, just a compliment: love the ID.7 Tourer review. It’s engaging, clearly knowledgeable and beautifully written. Thank you from a driver of a new  (well 242) Octavia estate Selection box. Sweet (excuse the pun!).

Should I buy this high-mileage Ford Focus?

I am considering buying a 1.6 TDCi Ford focus with 229k miles on the clock. Is the mileage just too high? Seller re-assures me that it is ok. What do you think?
