Need help choosing a new car

I would say that's overpriced. My sister just bought a 2006 2.0 FSI A3 Sportsback with 50K on the clock, 1 owner and full Audi History for £5K. Not my type of car but she needed the extra bit at the back for ferrying my brother, his missus and 2 littleuns about. I gotta say though that the Sportsback boot is HUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE!!! I could even fit in there!

Missing something called a turbo though.
 
So you are clearly jealous of anyone with a nice car then.

I still fail to see how it was a bad purchase also. THE HPI for my car says mint condition, private sale with my mileage = £11,500. Consider I bought it 6 months ago for £9995. Which means I could sell it quickly tomorrow for £11k.

I don't think £1k of equity in a car is a bad purchase do you?
 
Well you claim £10k is too expensive compared to your sisters car which is a basic 2.0 FSI which is missing, well, the only thing that gives it any performance.

Why has this thread become all about your bloody Audi?

86JR thinks his 2002/2003 design based A3 makes him god. You'll soon realise this. Unfortunately when god told him in his head that he was Jesus and his car would walk on water.... it all went horribly wrong.

Yes, I am totally jealous, especially of you.

I don't care what it's worth on the market and HPI values don't always reflect what someone will pay, the value for money is awful. If Ford ran with the MK2 Focus for as long as Audi milked the A3, we'd only just start seeing the MK3 now!
 
Well unfort for you,

a. Everyone else cares about worth of cars.

b. People are still buying them.

c. Fords are terrible.

OP,

There's no reason why an Audi A3 that's older should be worth more than a newer Golf. So buy one of those, with the added bonus of not being associated to crazy people.

I would have thought being on here for years you would understand the reasons.

I owned a ford focus mk1, it was terrible, bits fell off it every day.

Seems to be in contrast to my own experience (18k, 40+ mpg, no faults) and others. Obviously one bad car means the whole brand is rubbish. Please tell me about the coking issues on RS4s and how well Audi handle the matter ;)

Yes, the two most prominent Audi owners on the forum are mentals.
 
I don't, there's one in my signature. you can't seem to explain why they are worth more than newer models based on the same platform? Why should the OP spend more when he can have something else almost the same, but newer (and probably better) for less money?
