Q & A

What are the three main reasons given for the continuing growth in sales of used cars?

How much has the price of a regular, non-hybrid Seat Ibiza increased annually in recent years according to the video?

According to the video, the price of a regular, non-hybrid Seat Ibiza has increased around 5% annually in recent years, much higher than inflation.

Why does the presenter say there is less uncertainty buying a conventional used car compared to a new electric/hybrid model?

He argues there is less uncertainty because if electric/hybrid cars don't become mainstream, fossil fuel prices will remain stable. And if they do, demand for oil will decrease, likely lowering gas prices (unless offset by taxes).

What does the presenter say are the most sought after versions of the 3rd generation Audi A3 around 10,000 euros?

He says the most sought after versions are the 140 hp TDI diesels with great performance and efficiency, and the 125 hp TFSI gas engines which are pleasant and robust.

What does the presenter recommend as a good balance of performance and consumption in the BMW 5 Series E39 generation?

He recommends the 170 hp 520d turbodiesel and 523i 170 hp gas models as a good balance of performance and consumption in the E39 5 Series generation.

Why does the presenter say the VW Golf 5th generation from 2003-2008 is the best option as a daily driver?

What does the presenter say is unique about the Seat Podium model in his collection?

He says the Seat Podium was never sold to the public, it was only gifted to Spanish Olympic medalists in 1992. So it was very difficult to locate one since they were not available through normal dealers.

Which model does the presenter say he would keep if he could only keep one car from his collection?

What car does the presenter say he would not fit in, but has tried to get in?

He says the Seat Mallorca (also known as Para Dar Envidia) is a car he does not fit in, but has tried to get into.
