Well I am going to get a MINI COOPER S £115 tax and 45 mpg better than any vrs

Yeah - the MCS is perfect.

well I think it makes more financial sense then any VAG car as the depreciation at 38% rather than my vrs is only worth £6.5k only 3 years old thats over 60% in 3 years thats some loss

The wife and I were talking about what we'd replace the VRs with when the time came (which won't be for another 18 months) and I came to the conclusion that if I was changing now, all things considered, I'd probably still come back to another VRs. I'd probably go for an estate for a change (and they just look good) and maybe the diesel. In all honesty, I can't really think of anything else that ticks all the boxes (for under 20k).

If practicality wasn't an issue I'd almost certainly for an Golf R32 or ED30.

Sporky McGuffin · 28-10-2007, 17:46

I keep looking at Passat W8s and Audi RS2s on Ebay but I suspect either would cost a fortune to run. The insurance isn't too scary (about £350 and £550 respectively) but the fuel and bits prices would be terrifying.

Currently thinking over a wide spectrum; which makes narrowing it down really hard. Thinking of a few years slow and cost effective in order to go nuts in a few more years thinking something v8 and turbo'd + lots of depreciation benefit

So currently, on the slow and practical side it's a 4x4 of some sorts, l200, navara or roomster/1.9 Octy or into the it might still corner well scale, saab, volvo or Octy Scout.

Just looking at the whole arena and trying to put a house over a car.

Colin, If you go American V8 route PM me, I have a contact who can save you thousands, especially on one modded state side, theres a few tricks in that one

I've always fancied a Phaeton but the running costs would be horriffic I suspect! At one time I wouldn't have cared but then I guess your priorities change...

Find 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton 3.2 V6 4-Dr Saloon Black on eBay within, Volkswagen, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 18-Nov-07 16:03:29 GMT)

A Phaeton for under £18k...

mdk1 · 28-10-2007, 20:06

^^^^^^^^^^ Nice car.

dstev2000 · 28-10-2007, 20:16

When the company car goes back in May '09 i'll be eyeing up the Superb Estate if and when it appears, preferably with the 2.7 TDI. All depends where I am career wise in 2 years

Always admired the Phaeton from day 1 and I would love a derv model one day.
