hello all,
Been away for a while whilst I had my midlife crisis (gave the 2 fingers to job, took year off,travelled with family around NZ), now back, landed what I think is the best job in the world, with a car allowance!
Bought a Skoda kodiaq for the family car already (ruddy amazing thing!) so now it’s time to tick the last box for mid life crisis, and getting myself a decent performance run around. Naturally an S3 is now in the running.
Whilst I would like new and 310hp, realistically the right thing to do is take something that’s had the lions share of depreciation, say 3 years old with less than 40k miles on it.
So that got me thinking, you guys tend to look after your cars, and no doubt some of you will be looking to change over the next 3 months, so if you are thinking of it please keep me in mind.
I’ll keep looking on autotrader anyway, as I’m a bit of a magpie when it comes to the exciting times of car purchase for me, (from out of nowhere the 640d has spiked my interest!!!) but just thought I’d keep options open with you fine bunch.
Spec is fairly simple, sportback, any colour excl white, s tronic, B&O. That’s it. Tech pack advantageous, but not a deal breaker.
Live in belfast, but work has me in Scotland and England a fair bit so happy to travel / collect.
Hopefully not breaking any forum rules here - if so admin please delete / move as necessary.
Cheers,
Gordie
