I currently have a 2001 530i sport model, beautiful car but I now want to change it for a new car in 2011. As my own will be 10 years old, ...................I'm looking for a Mondeo/Insignia/Mazda 6 class of car, diesel of course!
Why diesel ?
All of the cars you list are sh1t in comparison to what you are currently driving
If you're only changing because of the car's age you may well regret it when you have some weeks spent in your new snore mobile. A 2001 530i is an epically savage motor that is so :cool:
Edit, just saw your above post about the diesel card, my commiserations.0 -
I agree with you fully... All the scrappage idea is very wrong when you destoy a fully working vehicle to buy a new one. It is a serious environmental problem, but the Greens seems to be looking at the small picture onlyok, [rant]
OP, not an attack on you personally, just a comment in general: but there is something seriously, seriously wrong with a society that has somehow arrived that at 10yrs, a car = scrap.
Worse, in a car of your ilk.
It's just fundamentally wrong - there's no other way to put it. Anybody who has ever, or even considered, supporting a certain Party, that put this situation in place, really needs their head examined.

sorry.......you may resume normal programming now........

I agree, and I was delighted when I was able to "trade in" my 00 Yaris for an almost new 10 reg. The dealer gave me effectively the scrappage 1500 for it which suited me as while I possibly could have gotten more privately, it removed the hassle for me of having two cars parked outside and taking time off work etc to placate tyre kickers.
The dealer informed me also that he had sold it on pretty quickly to someone learning to drive which was great news since the car was in PWO and had just got another 2 year NCT.
The only reason for change for me was that I wanted something new and shiny but it was great to hear that I'm doing my bit with a newer "eco friendly car", and my old working car isn't being scrapped as EOL. However it was a Yaris which to some might be a suitable reason _to_ scrap it 0 -

I just checked some UK sites and a 10yo 530i is still getting £2-3k (sterling) there. Presumably even more in central Europe. I might look at selling mine in the UK, though they do tend to be quite clueless about importing cars into their own country.In any country other than Ireland and the UK your car would still be worth thousands. It's just the beleaguered view of our countries, where on any car's tenth birthday it automatically becomes sh1te, that cars like these are worthless.
/waveI agree with you about scrappage, I just don't think it's as central a factor as the way cars are treated here. When's the last time you tried to find a 10 year old car with a FSH in this country?;)

...mmm, good question. Oh, I know ! My sig does, but it's only 17yrs old..........sigh.......does that make it a 'fail' ?
OP, lovely, lovely car, but 'tis a bit overpriced, and only because of it's annual tax. Take a lower price, cash, and the world is your oyster, shopping-wise......Ode To The Motorist

I'd be surprised if you didn't sell it after this thread OP.
I'd be very surprised if he got over €3500 for it (and I think it's a savage car), fingers crossed for the OP I'm wrong though 0 -

In fairness most Irish cars don't have a fully stamped up service history regardless of age unless its a specialty make. I've looked at countless cars for sale with a 'full service history' which have only one stamp in the book for the first service and none for the 5 after0 -
