Boring Estates!

didnt know you could specify it. I reckon its the least chosen option along with heated steering wheel lol. I dont think I ever ever got 600 miles out of tank either...

Re: Privacy glass - I think if you have an avant you probably have kids and as such its a good addition, especially as doing it aftermarket is usually crap and i'd assume probably not legal.

Id also say that the Avant is the only A6/A4 i'd have as it looks so much better than the saloon (my pref i know).

@paradigm-you got the best colour... its actually pretty rare; and happens to be the same colour they did the RS6 in. Looks loads better than the other grey/silvers they do.

The CVT is the Multitronic. Do NOT buy a Multitronic - they are horiifically unreliable.

That's what I'd heard but couldn't remember which!

Do you want to be sensible or not?
If not, blow the whole budget on an E Class or E60.
Although you could be semi-sensible and get an E320 CDI or 530d.

..or get a 550i

The E Class and V70 are cavernous, the E60 not so much.
The Mondeo has a massive load space too, but then you end up with a Mondeo.

That's the problem I have. My brain say's just get a Mondeo for £10k and be done. But my heart say's go for an A6 3.0TDI. But house's, babies and such are expensive so I could do without crippling bills cropping up every few months. Are A6's as bad as E60's with regards to a warranty is a must have and expect big bills?

I've just noticed that you're quite close. If you do decide to go down the A6 route and either would like a closer look at mine, or any help in adding equipment to it then just give us a yell.

They are pretty well specced from standard really, but there are a few choice additions that make the car that little bit better day to day. I for one couldn't cope without the AMI (Audi Music Interface) for connecting to media players/iPods/etc so I added that the week I bought it.

Cheers for the offer I'll bare that in mind. I'm going to try and get to a big car supermarket (not to buy don't worry, just to waste their time and try and see a few different cars within an afternoon.

Anyone got any experience on the V70? I kind of see that as sort of middle ground between the Mondeo and Audi Are E Classes of this age not worth it?

I bet you'll be able to pick up some good deals on Saab's soon

* Its bloody big in avant form, both in length and width. I never bumped it etc, but be aware.

My Father now refuses to drive his A6 Avant down to Cambridge and instead uses my Mums Z4 (that he hates). I think it is related to having to do a 5 point turn to get into my road the first time he drove it into Cambridge
