Buying a car
    #19396743 - 01/10/14 12:11 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Buying this next week

I have driven an Audi V8 , heaps of room inside (and lots of power)

This is an 2002 A4 (4 cylinders) automatic, so it will be good on fuel and it looks sexy as.

17" wheels, tinted windows , sound system with subwoofer

it's in immaculate condition so its worth it imo

i thought about getting a cheaper car to get me from point A-B but I don't see the point. I prefer this car, I can look after it and It will probably save me money over the long run

dude, i get what your saying.. i spent 10 years as a high end technician, and im telling you once it breaks and it will the costs are going to be up there.. and a thing about german cars is

shops say they can work on them.. but they really cant.. good work on high end german cars are tough to come by man.

so for good service and good work. its going to be costly.

The asking price is high: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/audi-a4-2002-16085341

I would definitely not pay a dime over $5000 usd ($5600 aus).

Prepare your butthole for when it does and will break down.

The cars already 12 years old so good luck.

I drive a 2003 Toyota Prius for the gas mileage (41-42 avg. miles / gallon).

I also have a Jeep Liberty for the snow.

It's a very clean Audi from the looks of it - but it'd be nice to have for under $4500USD...Maybe cars go for more in Australia?

Yes you always negotiate.

Come cash in hand. 9/10 you can get it a lot cheaper it's hard to say no when you show up with the benjamins.

always negotiate.

always bring someone with you that ACTUALLY knows about cars.

always bring a magnet.

always try to get a carfax.

always test drive it.

always climb underneath it look for leaks and bushings .

always check oil condition.

always give it a good once over

if you bring a good friend that knows about cars then he/she will do all this for you.

and always ask for a minute to talk it over.

as i said man i have many years and a degree in this type of shit... the auto industry is wayyy to shady.. people put wool over peoples eyes every day.

i always bring a scan tool to see if the i/m monitors are set to make sure the cel hasnt been reset.

audis are expensive to fix.  that scooby.. i wouldnt pay more than 5k for.. and thats if everything met my criteria.

I'd push for 5. Probably get it for 6.

Have you ever negotiated before?
