What $5k barge?
Discussion
Considering the following options:
Audi A8 quattro (D2 model)
Audi A6 quattro (97-04 model)
Chrysler 300
Mercedes E-Class (W210/W211)
Saab 9-5 Aero
BMW 5-Series (E39)
BMW 7-Series (E38)
Probably looking at a saloon with auto and petrol (don’t really do the miles to justify diesel).
My preference would probably be the W211 E-Class but might be a bit ropey in this price range and I’ve heard the earlier cars are not so good. I prize comfort over handling in my DD (I have other vehicles for fun), so not so keen on the BMWs, plus they’re ten-a-penny!
The two Audis come from a time when Audis were better built and had a cooler alternative image and the quattro would be useful in winter. I like the styling of the Chrysler and might be able to get a newer car in my budget? The Saab I have always liked but maybe not in the same league as the others?
Any first-hand experiences of any of the above would be greatly appreciated plus have I overlooked any good alternatives?
