deciding on a new car...
ive decided that now is the time for me to invest in a newer car both becasue i can now afford one and am sick and tired of keeping older cars on the road... ive narrowed it down to a few cars and this seems like a good place to ask the question....
im looking at a 2001 a8 L with 112 Km on the car and there asking 14,500 for the car its at the audi dealer along with the other car ive been looking at wich is a a6 2.7T (01) with more km (160km) for the same amount. my only real concern is matience...wich car generaly cost more to keep on the road?? my biggest fear is can i live with an auto? ive been driving a stick for my whole driving life...ive been on the hunt for a a6 with a 6 speed in it but so far ive had no luck. i also have a fairly heavy foot gas consumption doesnt scare me, but having to replace 2 turbos or a motor kind of does...thats why ive been leaning towards the a8 the other car on my list is a 04 s60R 6 speed. |

Re: deciding on a new car...
I'm not a fan of convertibles I've looked at a few a4's and tt's. I just like larger cars

a8 is a pleasure to drive BUT,between 100k and 160k is all the maintenance for the balljoints ,tierods,the whole front parts...same parts as the a4 .then the timing belt at 144k another 1400$, all in all in 2 years i put 12000$ on it.but hey i'm done for another 10 years...
i track the car it's a 98 A8 quattro. the best years are the ones like mine,cheaper to maintain cause a lot of parts are from the a6 or a4 but the later models are a LOT MORE EXPENSIVE...let's just say what a salesman at a stealer said to me about the a8 if you can maintain a jet plane you can own a A8 with no warranty.:)the model he was talking about is the next after my model....so my advice isyou think keeping the car for a looonnnnggg time then go for it but if your the guy that changes every 2 years don't go there. go with smaller model with a good warranty left..... |
