it gets better

his missus doesn't like him speeding so (apparently) he never did more than 90 in the A3

he lives 1/2 mile from work and complained that he barely got 250 miles from a tank despite everyone telling him that he's driving too and from home 'on the choke'

when driving one of the works vans he commented that it had 'too much power'  Most powerful van we got is a 115bhp Nissan Primastar DCI

oh and he sh!t himself when he picked up his new car as he planted his foot in 3rd and the traction control light flashed

then i gues it depends how long you plan on keeping the car

And who can say how long this is, so i guess depriation is all a lie!

lol just don't buy new cars like a bloke who i work with likes to do

2 years ago he buys a Jeep Cherokee, chops it in 4 months later and loses £5000 on it for an Audi A3 Sline sportback which he has now traded in for an A4 S-Line

He paid £22,000 for the A3 and traded it in for £12,000.  The new A4 has cost him £25,000..........

Stupid doesn't come close to describing it really......

Craziness!!!

Give it 6 months, & I bet that A4 will be chopped in for £15k for something else. ;)

icing on the cake was today when he couldn't find the dipstick so spent 15 minutes on the phone to the dealer who then informed him it doesn't have one - its electronic like a beemer.
