What to buy next?
Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2015 2:53 pm
Hello everyone,
I am really interested in buying a used S5. It doesn't matter if its a Coupe or not as it will be our second car. I have been toying with the idea of an S4 but after doing my research I think I would prefer an S5.
I have around £25-30k to spend and I am open to ideas.
I did have a B7 RS4 a year or so ago (you'll find me on the B7 RS4 page a lot) but had to sell that due to the fact it was killing us cost wise (had to pay to correct a few things and as you know, things ain't cheap to fix on any RS, i.e DRC), and the mileage we were doing on a regular basis (York - Coventry), well you can imagine how often we visited the pumps.
Anyway, we are now back in Coventry and we will be lucky to put 8k miles a year on the car probably more like 6k.
I would like to think with my budget I could get a really good 2012 model with low mileage and a good spec - what are your thoughts on this?
I am still looking around on the usual websites (Pistonheads etc) and I am in no rush as I want to make sure I get the right one for me.
It would be good to get the thoughts of the people in the know.
Many thanks in advance.
Mark
