Torn between age and miles

25k miles but an 07 with 15 months warranty.
or
11k miles 06 no warranty.
or
11k miles 06 no warranty.
The price difference is £2.5k the 07 being the more expensive.sonny wrote:Are they privet or dealership, If you really want the 06 plate any deal that can be done to put Audi warranty on it? cheapest is £1200 limited mileage, this is what I did. if the gap is to long before warranty they may wish to do a pre-inspection on the car. what's the price difference between cars?
It isn't 100% between these two. I have just been to see the 07 this afternoon and I will be seeing the 06 tomorrow.rAudiguy wrote:Oh tough one! is it 100% between these two or could there be other options out there?
I alway say condition plays a big part. does the 06 look ok is it in good nick? how does it's overall condition compare to the 07 and visa versa?
It is not possible to buy an Audi Approved Warranty after 3 months have elapsed since the original warranty expiration - unless you want to pay £2700 for only a named component warranty.sonny wrote:Are they privet or dealership, If you really want the 06 plate any deal that can be done to put Audi warranty on it? cheapest is £1200 limited mileage, this is what I did. if the gap is to long before warranty they may wish to do a pre-inspection on the car. what's the price difference between cars?
Ok 3 months aint bad then, at least you can extend when it does run out, s it will over lap, and no need for a pre inspection, again as I said before the warrenty can be picked up for 1200 quid, some chaps on here use warrenty Direct. As Jim said, if the 06 one is in better nick then why not go for it, and its also a better spec, think off the money you save can towards the warrenty!djt wrote:The price difference is £2.5k the 07 being the more expensive.sonny wrote:Are they privet or dealership, If you really want the 06 plate any deal that can be done to put Audi warranty on it? cheapest is £1200 limited mileage, this is what I did. if the gap is to long before warranty they may wish to do a pre-inspection on the car. what's the price difference between cars?
The 06 has slightly better spec with tech pack and has been serviced twice. It is at a dealer but not an Audi dealer, I will get 3 months from them. It has 10,300 miles.
The 07 has had one service and doesn't have the tech pack. This one is private and still has finance outstanding on it so not sure how that will work.
So would it be better (if going for the cheaper 06) to save the £2.5 in an ISA etc or try and purchase warranty? I didn't know it was possible if it wasn't bought straight after the manufacturers ended.
True, and the chome facelift interior buttons lol (I so wish I had).klauster wrote:Id say condition is the biggest factor, and price ofc... there are also the facelift headlights to consider
Smoke yes, although more grey than blackdjt wrote:Is it normal for black smoke to come from the exhaust when you start up first time?
What is the difference in the headlights (apart from indicators being clear)?klauster wrote:Id say condition is the biggest factor, and price ofc... there are also the facelift headlights to consider
