Not the new car, how much did you put down on your current one?

baron02 · 23 Oct 2015 at 23:44

Sorry I put down 5500 on my current car

He could check it right now online if he wanted to.

Sorry, changing a thoroughly dull derv A6 for another derv A6? It's late, I'm half cut but as far as I can see - no you don't need to change it.

MrFunex · 24 Oct 2015 at 04:53

Do you need an estate that much?

What is his current A6 derv?

What tune is the next potential derv? Looking on Audi's configurator PS values range from 190 - 320; quite a big difference in performance/cost.

How much deposit has he paid, how much negative equity has he got, what can he afford?

Is this the real life...

I've got a headache.

Exactly, one must have the latest plate car to succeed in life.

You say you really need to change it - why?

TheVoice · 24 Oct 2015 at 12:17

Only if the new one is white, otherwise it'll look too different from all the other diesel Audis on the road.

Glanza · 24 Oct 2015 at 12:23

Question, why do you feel you need to change it?

The one in the OP? :confused:

baron02 · 24 Oct 2015 at 13:06

Current derv is S Line 2.0 170ps saloon, however thinking this morning and looking at the mileage in the current car it only done 9342 in 19months me owning it, so I've have been looking at getting a Petrol as I don't really do the mileage to warrant a diesel. I'm only thinking and nothing has been set in stone yet. If the figures don't add I won't proceed and continue paying more off the car.

shadow_boxer · 24 Oct 2015 at 14:06

Do you really need an avant over the saloon?

iaind · 24 Oct 2015 at 16:00

Don't do the mileage to warrant a diesel - so looking at another diesel?

baron02 · 24 Oct 2015 at 16:04

Well the Avant would be better as I do carry lots of equipment and I do also have a dog that do sometimes goes in the car and the back would be ideal. It does not have to be a diseal or a A6 would be happy to go down to a audi a4 2.0 tfsi model.

You already have a one year old Audi

Blackhawk47 · 24 Oct 2015 at 16:39

New A4 has just come out so whatever you do don't trade the A6 in for the old A4 shape.

Thank you for that, As the A6 model don't have petrol engines only the s6 which is way out of my budget, I've now looked at A4 2.0tfsi new shape, I know there is a 6 month wait on these, I'm led to believe.

So basically he wants to waste quite a bit of cash going from a '14 plate saloon to a '15 plate avant? (assuming it's a 3.0 TDI he currently has and wants to move to).

If the trim, drivetrain etc is all going to be the same, then seems kinda pointless, unless you don't mind blowing £thousands.
