Running costs would also like to be kept to a minimum (I.e. tax, cost to fill a tank)


Why do people say Audi A8 it has a 90l tank plus high road tax.

With your limit of car age I've found it impossible to find a diesel that would be respectable (is there such a thing). All the Audis have done too many miles. The only sort of thing that I could find was a Leon FR 170 but the interior is just gastly so couldn't deal with that. The BMWs of that era are also horrible to look at :sick:

I would personally get a slightly older Audi or E46 BMW.

Plus you find one thats 4 years old and has done less than 60k and cost less than 8k.

price is about 500 under the going rate for them to be fair

the Vcar website is 100% better than autotrader with a lot more cars,

as was fish 4 cars,

And MOST were lower milage than those on Autotrader.

Slicks shortlist is now like him, Not very short  :laugh: :grin:
