What is the best make of second hand cars?
We have bought 3 used car so far and have had some good results. They have all been late model(early 90s) GM vehicles. They have all been in great shape with low miles. I did have a problem with the first one that I purchased. The gas gauge was not working. That is a good deal for them to give that. The dealer said they were going to have a loaner available for the day of the repair. I asked them to please let me know if they had any work to do. We paid for the repair at the dealership. It took about 2 weeks. The next two cars we purchased have all worked out great. The third one we are waiting on. I know it will be a good car. There is a guy that owns the dealership. He has had many people look at the car before. His dealership is the one place you can go.
We are all in the same boat. The only bad thing I see right now is the dealerships. We all need to stand together and get them to get better. We all have to be patient and wait for the good deals to come.
Good luck to everyone. Be sure to keep us posted! If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
I am looking at a 2025 Silverado 2500. Has anyone here bought a used one? I am looking to get one for my son. I love the fact that it is a Silverado. My son does not want an F-150 because he loves how it looks. I think the only reason I want a Silverado is because I like how it looks.
We bought a 2025 1500 Silverado (short bed) at a local dealership. It was a great truck. We also got the extended cab version of it. It was a very smooth truck to drive. I have driven trucks before, and I would say this is one of the best. It handles well, it is very comfortable and very roomy. We also got a great deal on it. I would definitely recommend a truck from a dealer. They are not the cheapest, but if you shop around, you should be able to find a good deal on a truck.
Thanks for the info.
How many petrol and diesel cars are there in the UK?
There are currently about 4 million petrol and diesel cars and vans, accounting for 30% of new car sales. The most common petrol engine is the 1.6 litre Petrol engine (which you have to look at the fuel nozzle to see).
About 9% of petrol cars are larger than 2.5 litres (and will use Premium) which are more expensive to run.
All cars on the road have a MOT and insurance, which costs about 200 a year and 60 every two years. Gasoline is only sold as petrol. BHP makes car engines. They make their engines by mixing chemicals and making sparks.
Diesel engines have 4 strokes (like cars do). They make it very hard to start or stop (like cars do). Diesels make much less sound than petrol engines (like some cars do). Petrol is generally cheaper than Diesel, because of Diesel fuel costs more to make. The average cost per litre of Diesel is about 5.80.
Petrol is about 1.15 per litre Gasoline prices are set by the oil companies. Diesel prices are set by the oil companies and governments. It is cheaper to run a Diesel car in the middle of the day, and it is harder to run a Diesel car in the middle of the day. Some cars have a Diesel engine and switch to a petrol engine at higher speeds. It is not possible for a small car (1.0 or smaller) to use Hybrid power. This is because the battery needs to be so big to provide the boost.
The petrol is compressed up to about 5 atmospheres. The Diesel is compressed up to about 10 atmospheres. The petrol engine generates less torque than the Diesel engine (about 7% less). Most petrol cars have a manual gearbox (ie the hand is connected directly to the gear box). Most Diesel cars have an automatic gearbox. This is why Diesel cars are generally easier to drive.
Small Diesel engines take much less time to warm up and cool down than the equivalent petrol engines. Gasoline engines use spark ignition which means they are made from gasoline that burns when it gets hot. It creates large quantities of heat.
What is the best website to buy second hand cars?
I am looking to buy a used car, preferably from the UK, on eBay or from a private seller and would love some advice on which is the best site. I have been using Craigslist but the fees are too high! I found Carside (free?) but don't think that's really the route I want to go down? Any others please advise! Any help or info very much appreciated!Thanks in advance,Nancywww.travellinglady.co.uk
Hi again,thanks for your reply - all good questions - but I'm after the cheapest way - so the fee isn't my priority but the experience you get out of the other end . And if it is an auction there is nothing I know of stopping the seller saying something wrong to me or lying . Which is not good in my experience .
So what I was wondering was there some web sites where they guarantee the price and/or condition of the cars available . Where it's very clear what the seller charges for themselves and then what the buyer is paying for the car with no middlemen? Hi againI checked with google, Ebay and Carside and their fees are not that different . Just Ebay does give an automatic refund if the car is not in perfect condition - however I'd still prefer to be sure of the condition of the car before paying more - just thinking out loud again here :-) if I find anything interesting (at this moment not really) will report back and let you know :-). Thanks again,Nancyagain. I don't think any of those ebay sites have any idea how accurate their prices are. I recently bought a 2025 Jetta with a problem.it runs but was told it had a broken starter motor. It has 120,000 miles. I asked a few ebay sellers and no one would offer anything close. I listed the details of the problem, and how the car ran but not how smooth it was.
What car can I get for $12,000?
Let's take a closer look at cars that would give you the best bang for your buck based on their price when purchased new, their residual value, what you can get for the purchase money and what you would be leaving you. The prices shown here are all inclusive, this includes all GST and fees including PDI which the tax department requires before any vehicle can be registered. We are going to use Ford cars to illustrate an example so it is not quite as simple as looking at the same make though they are very close in price range to the other makes and models we use. We have priced a few new 2025 models to illustrate what you can afford if you were paying up front for the new car. All price comparisons are based on the base model but there are several options that can be added such as automatic transmission (AT) and different engines such as 1.6 L or 2.0 L units with or without turbocharge power and which drive train option you have determines how much you will be paying upfront for the car. If you go with the AT option then your down payment also falls. It really depends on your situation when purchasing a car. For most people AT is a sensible option so it is no surprise that it is the most popular option across all manufacturers.
Here is the list of the cars: 2025 Audi A4 1.
