Buy from dealer, run a few months and part ex at dealers for next car. Do that a couple of times and even the wisest buyer will lose a few quid on each deal buying that way. With the RS6 no matter how cheap it was bought if you're asking £9k and getting offers of £5-6k that's quite a hit
£750...
Never sure why you'd buy something knowing you're not keeping it, granted its less likely to break than an old RS6 but still seems like you must be dropping money on each car... I love ASBO's, the other half would only have one if it was Grey or Blue though :(
Where did you stay Rob?
Looking to book a last minute holiday and Cape Verde has been suggested... Hotels seem good review wise too and tempted as its not Sharm!
Amie ;) hehe
Thanks, sadly not a TTS as they were £3-4k out of budget for us. It's a 2.0 TFSi, but seems to have quite a few options including BOSE, extended leather, sport suspension possibly as it looks lower than others. Plus 6 CD changer, auto lights/wipers and folding mirrors. Bar Sat Nav...
Drive the road twice daily as its the main road out of our village, but yes it's not something you forget for a while!
Yeah wasn't something we thought about, but with hindsight not sure if that would have made matters worse with the cars going round the roundabout. Things happen so quickly...
So, errrrm, yeah. The ownership of this little beasty turned out to be very short lived... When we bought the car it had noisy brakes, very noisy brakes in fact as soon as the they had been applied once. Once warm they almost appeared to be binding on. The chap we bought the car from had just...
Hows the MPG then?
Other half was chatting to an owner of one last night in the petrol station, he says 13-15mpg is all he was getting!
He gave it full beans leaving, standard exhaust sounds fine!
Plenty of VAG specialists round fairly locally too - TotalVAG in Leighton, Inde-Tech and VAG Tech in MK that we've used / come recommended to us. I'd use any of those to give the car a once over versus using Audi!
They're time based servicing now (our Z4 has the same type system and was initially confusing when we looked at it because we were expecting the Oil > Insp 1 > Oil > Insp 2 routine).
Get's a bit difficult trying to figure what is due and when - there is a routine but it seems slightly less...
I remember giggling LOTS when i picked up my new Audi A3, felt so special being inside it.. audi interiors rock!
The clio will be a distant memory after 10 mins in the new one :)
We bought a car a few years ago now, bodywork was far from perfect but serviced religiously on the dot at main dealer, in fact every consumable was also changed at the main dealer.
That said, it wasn't in the same category as this one is, and this has moneypit written all over it..
Double disclaimer - this comment is made based on owning a Z4 with double level of traction control and an S2000 without any form of traction control. That said though the Z4 does feel more planted / just easier to play with when compared to the S2000.
Any form of RWD car with the power of...
