Hello - I have been reading the forum for the past year since I got my Phantom Black 2.0T Quattro S-Line Special Edition (phew!) and I have got a fairly simple dilemma that I would like to put out to the masses.
I have recently taken on a consulting position where my average yearly mileage is appprox 28k up from a mere 13k for the past 6 years. My car has now done 26k on a July '06 plate and whilst this is not too bad at the moment I dread to imagine what it will be worth in say 8-12 months time with say 54k on the clock.
I have been offered £16k part ex by a dealer but I just wanted to get your opinions on whether I should sell now and buy say another A3 in Diesel or (family planning thinking!) an A4 Avant in Diesel - with hopefully some reduction due to the new shape??
I am not particularly bothered by low mileage (I had a 350Z for 3 years prior to the A3!) but I now own the A3 and I am not sure whether financing a further £10k against a new or nearly new Diesel is the way forward?
Sorry for the long first post but seeing that some of you have the S3 with already high mileage I thought this may be the place to ask opinions!!
Thanks iin advance
