Been offered a straight swap for a 2004 A3 2.0 TDi Sport.

Would make a lot of sense financially as I need a more economical car for work now and the FRS has a drink problem.

Any opinions??

 

its a good car

but you will get ALOT of depreciation with the audi

in what respect is it a financial decision OTHER than fuel economy?

 

Thats about it really. I get paid mileage for any business miles, so would make more with a good diesel than my current guzzler.

Plus I don't want to murder the resale value of the FRS by putting loads of miles on it.

 

a valid point

but in the long run, i think you would lose more on the audi

my friends mum has a A6 V8 and it was almost 50k when it was new, its now only 5 years old and only worht a quarter of what it was.

i reckon in 3 years or so you would lose around 5k on that A3 at least

sell the FRS now and buy something like the focus TDCi, pocket the 5 grand difference and use that

plus the do better mpg than the A3, but have less power

 

sell FRS and get a mondeo st tdci

 

swap a3 for frs


fuck no

as already said, the depreciation is mind blowing, and there are that many, that it would be harder to sell thatn the frs imo
