Best justification ever.

You are just annoyed you didn't think of saving up for 5 years to buy a 10 year old car instead of a new Golf R.
Wait, what?
True. In the same way a Boxster is a poor mans 911
Chris Harris rates the R highly which is good enough for me
My wee brother has his car in pcp it works for him.
My wifes got a company car but for me.. Ive got an old 1997 Audi A4 avant 1.9tdi quattro.
I can throw my tools in the boot and not worry.
stick my sons dirt bike on the trailer and his gear in the boot and ill take him up the forestry or over to the track and I don't panic that im going to get it dirty or scratch it.
same goes for the dog. if it gets manky shell go in the boot and again I don't worry to much. I can use it anyway I want. and I don't need to worry about miles either.

Give it a rest, you drive a Boxster - it's hardly a vehicle that's at the pinnacle of, well, anything.
I would much rather be seen in a Golf R than a Boxster...
Perhaps one day he can upgrade it to an E90 3 Series.
yes 10 year old Aston > a golf. even if it was from 20 years in the future[TW]Fox;28715360 said:
and the fact that you actually own the aston and it will holds value whereas you've lost 30K on a golf............ and you dont acutally have a golf at the end of it unless you pay the rest. lol.

They are not even comparable. A 10 year old Aston is the sort of thing you tuck away in your garage, take out every so often, and treasure, which is why almost all of them are low mileage.
A Volkswagen Golf Estate is an everyday family car which serves as your primary mode of transport. An Aston Vantage is crap at this.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That comment *was* as daft as the original comment
and I bet they add a Aston Martin tax if you go to buy anything from the dealer..
Ive priced parts from VW and Audi and have been given 2 different prices for the same part..
when we had the VW sharan a few years back I fitted a replacement engine and phoned VW as I was needing a gasket and 3 studs and was quoted about £19 before vat.
I asked them to order it and they wanted payment over the phone. I discovered the wife was away with my bank card so said I would call back later..
after a bit I thought.. Ill give the seat dealer a call and see if they will order it for me without payment over the phone.
so I gave them a call. they ordered the parts without payment and I never even thought to ask a price..
when I went to collect the bits I was shocked when it came to a little over £12 including vat!!
and heres the thing.. they came in a VW bag!!!

family car? lol. much cheaper not to have a family, the rs6 was the family option although i would use it as a fast van if i had one. i'm sure you could daily a v8 vantage, its not a supercar or a race car, its a sports car.[TW]Fox;28715440 said:
