its difficult to trade it in, if you go somewhere else than Audi, but technically its a very good car!

Exactly for that reason that I buy them - good price 2nd hand for a very good car. Yes if you buy new it's probably a bad investment but then I have never bougth a brand new car in my life and never will.

Oh even if I am in the position to buy a new car I won't. Just doesn't seem to make sense to my mind. Buy them good 2nd hand and let somebody else take the initial depreciation knock :-)

Yup, I have owned at least 20 cars out the box over the last 15 years, have lost a bundle. I have never owned an Audi but have mates who love them. I have owned 2 Mercs, the 1 was a dog & the other was a magnificent car, a e430te avantgarde. Nowadays I drive a R30k accent & the v8's are parked & only used irregularly cos it cost more to start them & drive them to the local spar than it cost the skorra korra to drive 50km. For these good reasons I am buying a trike, keeping the twinco purely for commuting.
