I've officially gone mad

[Shamrocker]

Ok,

Bear with me. I'm buying a car for general everyday use. I've just moved to Spain and want something for long distances and in town.

Why have I gone mad ? I've jumped (researched) from the following:

R32
B7 RS4
RR Vogue SE
'08 RS6
XKR

And now I've decided to push for a 2011 A8 3.0 SE Exec

Are there any Doctors out there who can certify this behaviour ?

I will purchase this week.

Lord help us

[Shamrocker]

Also please add a GL420cdi to the list

[Xcore]

R32! In the proper Nissan variety

[Shamrocker]

Sorry the VW type

[Integroo]

all the cars you have looked at seem like reasonably fast versions of family cars

not sure what is so mad about that

[Mr Tidy]

Seeing as you had a B7 RS4 on your list, shouldn't any A8 be at least a 4.2?

[Shamrocker]

Fair point. Mind you the 4.2tdi packs a serious punch too

[Mr Tidy]

Well if you want to become certifiable, why not add a Maserati Quattroporte to your list?

They're cheap to buy, and sound fantastic - but maintenance costs won't be cheap!
