Time to get a new car... :(

Remember and get a 4motion if you don't want to watch the traction light flashing all the time. That's my excuse for having SA53 KSX

Remember - it's an A4 Quattro TDI 130 for 3 grand less. I average about 40mpg - about 35 with the locost and the trailer on the back.

passat 4motion, excellent with handling far superior to that of the 2wd model.

That looks NASTY !

Depression's two links are LOTS nicer :

Ronny, go for the 150bhp TDI version, I've definitely seen them about (all 3 letters TDI in red) - then soot people in style :-)

That's the thing, his latest idea of a Bora means that the 4motion won't be the proper full-time 4WD.

Peter

As I keep saying - proper A4 Quattro multi link rear axle on the 4motion.

Mine is now 1 year and 21,000 miles old. Wonder what it'll be worth at 3 years and 63,000 miles.

My not quite twins

In news:iLI%c.3211$K% snipped-for-privacy@news-text.cableinet.net, Pete M decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

and for todays list of VW woes...

LT35 - clutch death LT35 - door lock failure LT35 - sliding door lock failure

three different LTs, mind.

Is it just me, or does the Bora scream

'I wanted an A4, but all I could afford was a s***ty VW'?

OI stop putting me off :)

I washed the car today and it will piss me off t oget rid of it, but I really do need a new car if I could get a newer A4 for around the 10k I would trust me.

the most I want to spend on top of part EX on my car is 5k, I dont really wanna be spending no more than 100 quid a month, I paid cash for my audi when it was just under 3 yrs old So I have no finance.

The bora is a poor mans Audi, but it looks nice, its cheap to run, and its got those smooth lines that I love in VW cars, the 4motion only comes with the bigger engines I think, and thats what I wanna get away from :)

I could easily get a 2.8 4motion fully loaded for less than 10k but it defeats the object of buying a more reliable car and cheaper to run :)

If I wanted I could get a S reg S4 but it boils down to me travelling 60 miles a day to and from work, insurance isnt a worry as im old.

If the deal doesnt work out the way I want tommorow night, I will go out and get some 19" RS4 wheels for the Audi and spend the money getting the cam belt done, on the credit card of course :)

Ronny

Still a fair bit. Out of interest, what was it brand new? (did you buy it new or nearly-new, can't remember)

Ok - try this

It was a sniff over 19 grand with the towbar and electrics.

I neither bought it new, nearly new or anything else. It's a leased car. There is no way on earth I would ever consider paying that sort of money on a car. I'm extremely happy to swallow the 60 quid a month contributions to the lease and the personal tax though. I got to pick as well. My two workmates have respectively a Sharan and a 316 compact. I know - I'm very fortunate. I appreciate it completely, no question.

I bagsies the 18's! Am i repeating myself?

nice passat :P

Who cares ?

I like the Bora - it's a much nicer shape than the Golf, and it seems more "upmarket" somehow.

Bora! That's the worst name EVER for a car!!!!

Except for perhaps, Dedra...

Maserati Bora ?

I'd have one...

Its just you.
