I have recently purchased a Audi TDi 1.9 and I am very happy with it
despite the high mileage 365000 km (230,000miles) as it drives very
well and has always been maintained by the same Audi dealer since new.

The next service requires the timing belt to be changed and will be
expensive but I am keen to look after the car as I plan to keep it
thoughout my 3 year stay here in Sweden, in which time I will probably
clock up till 500,000 km on the clock.

So... this is the question to you experience Audi owners. Is it worth
my while to PLAN to keep this car for the next 3 years or should i
trade it in now for a younger model.

Thanks

Pete

I should add that the car is a 1997 model first sold in 1998, to its
previous owner.
