Hi all,
New to all of this and Audi's in general. So I'm sorry if this is not the right place.
Im changing jobs and will be driving 60 miles a day (50/50 roads and motorways). I have a son and we regularly drive down to the coat from Surrey to see family (6+ times a year). In total I plan to be doing 16,000+ miles a year.
A friend of mine has an Audi A4 avant 1.9tdi and loves it and says they last.
I don't like the look of the models pre 2005 but 2005 to 2008 is gorgeous. When looking on auto trader and various other places there are loads of 2005 2.0TDI engines but very very few 1.9TDI's which are 2007. My friend says the 2.0 aren't as reliable as the 1.9, is he right?
As the 2.0 is more available and the mileage is lower at about 110,000 on most with a lower price. Should I go for this or go for the 1.9 with 120,000 mileage and pay a little more?
I'd also be looking at the S Line where possible.
I'm trying to keep to a £4,000-£5000 budget and need something that will last the mileage for at least a few years.
Thanks
