And in last months Top Gear mag they have a new long term car – an Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant with some tasty options – price – £80k – and remember this has the same platform as a Skoda Superb
Thats unbelievable!I dread to think what the residual value of that car was after it left the stand and covered a couple of KM.

im sorry but theres only one response
fk ME!
haha, it's a good example of just how insane the amount of extras you can spec is these daysfk ME!
that must be the highest depreciating car you can buy, spec'd to that level you're going to lose £80k as soon as you drive out of the door
just goes to show, whenever you're next to that 3.0tdi A8 at the lights just remember it could be a £143,000 car... : p
33k for the A1 quattro seams like a total bargain

Oh not this car X is better value than car Y because you COULD select a load of OPTIONS on car Y bks. It's not like ticking the aircon box on a Citroen C1, these cars are already very highly specced. If someone wants to pay several thousand pounds to have a fingerprint reading ignition switch then thats up to them, doesn't make it a ripoff.
Reminds me of sales training and special edition cars with 'added value' which includes loads of options. Except it's only adding value if you were going to select all of those options anyway (which most people dont).
You've missed the point entirely. It was to do with the fact that the M6 used to be between 60-70k new, and now its 100k. Similarly you can spec an Audi A6 to 80k.Reminds me of sales training and special edition cars with 'added value' which includes loads of options. Except it's only adding value if you were going to select all of those options anyway (which most people dont).
Also the old M6 wasn't £60-70k, it was over £80k when it was launched in 2005, with inflation that makes it £96,000 in todays money. So at under £94k the new model is actually cheaper in real terms so the argument about it being overpriced is silly.

And again, I never said that it was overpriced.
